Did maintenance on my B machine. New brushes, clean and lube everything. Flexshaft had been a little warm so I put in my new spare knowing I had a couple of long carves planned. Started a carve and about 2 hours in heard the machine make different noise. Went in and found the flexshaft core laying on the floor and the housing hanging in back of the machine. Found the housing had come out of the connector on the motor end. Connector end was still in the motor. Looks like some sort of glue/epoxy, shiny inside the connector and on the housing. Not sure if the carve can be saved but will give it a shot after I lube the old cable/housing and put them back in service.  Has anyone had a similar problem and if so have they tried to re-attach the connector to the housing???
