I had a similar thing to you when I had the bearings go in my lathe John and was getting vibration and it wasn't turning true. I'm not that savvie engineering wise and found someone locally to change them for me and hey presto it solved the problem. Gradually over a period of time it went again and he changed them again but I've been told they can't be changed again so I'll be looking for a replacement lathe for turning pens as I have another vs lathe but don't like it for penturning as it takes too long to stop.
