How to Fix? Drytec Jetliner constantly swaying and slacks tension

Our Jetliner 54" has a few issues: 1. Running anything over 5 feet the tension of the lam gets loose, ripples and causes bubbles.
2. The supply and take-up bars giggle loose in their drive slots.
3. I'm not sure, but it feels like the clutch under the hand-tighteners is slipping.
4. Everything drifts to the right or left, no matter how long it is. It's like the rollers are spinning out of sync. High pressure or adequate pressure, same results.

What kind of repairman can we call to look at this? We had the gears and chains replaced two years ago and it worked great. But recently it's not performing well. The guy who fixed it last time moved out of state -- he was a former signmaker and had the tools and materials easily for the job. Not sure who to call for this now.

Drytec is no help. At all. No servicing manual, and they don't sell replacement parts. :-(
