Have you looked into getting parts to fix it? Not sure what your running for a lathe, but I have ordered parts from these guys with good results, quick turn around too. Ignore the Jet parts if your running something different, on the left side of this page they list all the tools they carry parts for. Just a thought... http://www.ereplacementparts.com/jet-lathe-parts-c-32652_32854.html

I hear you! It's not this one I take it, this doesn't look like a bad lathe  http://www.harborfreight.com/garage-shop/stationary-wood-lathes/5-speed-bench-top-wood-lathe-65345.html
Delta makes a good lathe, my only complaint has been the tail stock likes to creep, you really have to lock her down, hopefully they have fixed it on the newer ones
