Having a 6x9 Johnson could indeed result in howling boxes. Perhaps
you should forget about brushes and consider a career in porn flicks.
Or was that 6x9 millimeters? <G>
Never heard of the make. Have you popped the cover on it to see
what's floating around? My dad had a 4x6 that did that, had to
replace the worm, gear and pulley-end ball bearing because the worm
disintegrated and all the flotsam gravitated to the unshielded
bearing. If you bought it retail, check the retailer for parts.
Otherwise google is your friend. Might be some other import is close
enough you can swap parts, Grizzly, Enco or HF might be places to
check. If it's not too far gone, you could probably replace the
bearing(s) and clean up the worm and wheel enough to at least cut the
noise level down. My dad's had galling going on, probably from bad
lube combined with improper material pair on the worm and wheel, big
lumps torn out of both parts. Were both steel, the replacement had a
hardened wheel and bronze worm. Replace the lube with some rear-end
lube from the car parts place, plenty of high-pressure zinc additive
in that stuff.

Bite your scurrilous tongue, Don! Tawn is much too nice a fellow to consider a career shift from
brushes to bushes.

You mean "from brushes to bush-free", right?
Vive la unbearded clams!

Errrr . . . Something like that, except apply the more pornographic connotation.

How did I not see that coming?
My next career is to open a Bikini Wax parlor.

Right. What do you suppose "Vive la unbearded clams!" means, sir?
Gee, I never knew bikinis needed waxing. Kinda like a surfboard, wot?
Gonna sandpaper your tongue and offer them a choice? (As is said in
France "If you can't join 'em, lick 'em!")
