not sure from video but is it wobbling on the shaft ? as opposed to just having a bit of back lash?

I think there’s a clearance between the rack and pinion..is it possible to fix it? Maybe with a new pinion

Hi Michele, Welcome to the forum.

As an ML7 owner myself, I'm sure Graham has identified your problem. Are you into model making?

Regards Bear..

Hi Michele,

I had a problem with worn ML7 apron bushes and bought a replacement set from here.

Irish pipes ~?

Are they similar to Guiness bottles that have open other end on the base but in this case it's blow from tother end ?

Uilleann pipes, Interesting. Had a look on Youtube. This bear is not musical.

What will the main material be, just wondering if a wood turning lathe would have been a better option.
