My father-in-law has passed an antique to me that I am trying to fix. The lift will go completely up or completely down, but I cannot set it in between. To make it drop, I have to push the lever past the bottom of the slide. When I pull the lever above the botom, the lift goes completely to the top. I have alread changed out all the oil. I took out the four bolts that hold the lever on the side and see there is spindle that sticks inside. One side seems worn, could this be the issue? Should the spindle be completely round? I'm thinking of taking it to a machine shop to rebuild the metal on the spindle. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. I'm new to all of this. Any other websites that would be heplful would be great.
Thanks
