i do not have that lathe but I assume the pulley is held in place with a set
screw. If the screw is loostening due to vibration, a common problem,
tighten it down firmly and then use another set screw on top of it. This
works like a nut holding another nut secure.

Don't know. I've got the old Nova Comet midi-lathe with a gap bed and it
was/is certainly solid. But the motor mount was so poor I made my own and
the headstock pulley has recently developed a habit of coming loose. I
think
I fixed that with a little Loctite - time will tell. I'm still pretty
happy
with the lathe, though a swiveling head would be nice.
