Centering depends on **** not being worn out. Rebuild kits are available.

Sorry O, not true, ANY stand can be re-centered regardless of age and general condition, provided the set screws on the collars are still OK.

Sometimes it's difficult if the main shafe is scored from prior adjustments. But that's easy to work around, by rotating the collar to find a clean section of the shaft. BTW- if anyone decides to disassemble and rebuild the stand, replace the OEM set screw collars with split shaft collars. These are inexpensive, and do a great job holding the shaft without marring it.
