I already contacted the factory. the machine is over 10 years old
and has not been under a yearly maintenance contract for over 2 years.

That rules out any warantee.

I did call a couple shops, one flaty said they were too busy.
the other said they could grind me a new set of magnets to fit, but
it would be a bit more than $500.00 that the factory replacement
would be.

I'm looking seriously at Pauls spindle. The hole/mount on my machine
is 1.5" and Paul didn't list any sizes on his site for the Instant
Spindle. Anyone have an idea what it weighs or what the overall
dimmentins are ?
