Dave, I'm not sure on the bearing mfr.... we had some lengthy discussions regarding the quality of the bearings. The guy making the mold for the insulator was quite insistent on using a quality bearing. He was working with someone at his company that is far more knowledgable than I am on the bearings. Next time I talk to him I'll inquire and let everyone know. I'm sure we can get the insulator without a bearing so the buyer can use one of his choice.

Please spare the accolades until we actually have these things in hand. When UPS arrives with a box of 30+ finished units I'll be as happy as the next guy. Until then, I'm going to keep my fingers crossed.

I am also in for a set of bearings. I apprecite the effort.
I have a question was there a thread a couple of years ago discussing shaft bearing problems. I did a search but did not come up with anything.
thanks.
