I am wondering if anyone has come across this problem before

I have a Jet 12 21 vs lathe from Turners Retreat in May 2014. Today it started to go wrong with the speed changing randomly - luckily so far it has only slowed down and then sped up again. This happened three times. Much more dangerous is the last time it happened the lather went into reverse without me touching the controls.

I have stopped using it !!!!

I rang Turners Retreat and they only said that they would contact Jet - in the UK I assume and Jet would get in touch with me. This was only about 30 minutes ago so I will wait a bit longer.

As I said in the title has anyone come across this before. ?

Also who are the Jet importers / service centre in the UK. I have not been able to find anything on the web except the USA home page.
