[NSRCA-discussion] Bargain on OS 140RX stainless rear bearings

[Ed Alt]

Well, I went to a local bearing supplier that fellow club member Bob K. 
recommended and got a pair of the 6904 LLU sealed bearings for $10.20 each, 
also a sealed version of the 6004 for the OS 1.60 for $6.59.  The only thing 
I couldn't get from him was a sealed bearing for the OS .91FX.  They said 
that it has an extra ball compared to the other bearings and they make a 
rubber seal work for that reason (I'm not making this up!).  Boca who?  Man, 
that's the business to get into.  Nice margins if you can get them.
