   Have tried calling the techs at SCM? I worked on theirs and many other brands and when I'm stuck I call the people who put out the product as they know it best. SCM made a lot of good machines over the years and I'm sure it's fixable. I'm not exactly sure of that particular model and wish you posted a picture because it maybe similar to something else I worked on. Possibly a new belt is in order or typically a crown on the pulley helps keep the belt centered and maybe it's worn. I'vee recrowned them with a simple thing as a few strips of tape. Probably an easy fix if one could be there and had the experience with such matters.

   I will give the tech's at SCM a call and see if they can give me some adivce. I just hope that advice isn't to buy new parts, cause I'll bet they won't be cheap. I'll also talk to Cooper and Horton and see if they can help out.

   As far as crowning the pully, because the friction from the V belts is tangent to the surface of the disc, I think it would have to be a reverse crown. I don't know if that would work. I was thinking of machining a couple rings that could be mounted on either side of the disc, to act as a lip, but space is really tight in there, and I don't know how I'd get everything in there. Anyways, here's a picture of the machine. The only visible difference is mine is a yellow/gold color.
