Hello

I have German Weiler Matador lathe. It had small gearbox fault, some small screws loosened, dropped and jammed gearbox lever. I had to remove gearbox but I did not need to break up the gearbox. Before I could remove gearbox I have to remove covers, Apron and lead screw. I also had to remove gears, pulley and belt seen on following Youtube video.

Now I am not sure if I managed to assemble lathe correctly again. Lever I use on video (lower and left one) should change transmission between belt and gears. But does it work as it should?

Are there any Weiler Matador owners? Does Your Matador act like mine?

Hello Jouni, I see that no one has replied yet so this should bump it up to the top.
