Thanks SM.
When you mention the machine spinning, are you referring to the post that strings winds around, or the key? I did notice when re-tuning it again a few minutes ago, that the locking screw on the key was not rotating, but when I turned the key back a bit, the screw spun. Not sure what the go is there?

I'll check out the ball end of the string too.
