[modeleng] Locking a lathe spindle

Calling all Myford owners....

Does anyone have any good ideas for positively locking the spindle, while I 
carry out a slotting operation?  The Super 7 comes with a spindle lock of 
course, but this only locks in one position, and in any case there is a 
small amount of backlash with the lock engaged.  What I am thinking of is 
some sort of friction device, which can effectively hold the spindle in any 
position.

Anybody been there before?
