Just curious, Randy. What are the performance problems you are attempting to
overcome?

Subject: [Phono-L] Edison bearings
Not sure if many would like this, but I've been trying to come up with an
idea of how to improve the Edison Standard bearings. Specifically being
the bearings for the governor. I wanted to develop something that would
still look original yet performed better.
Last week I finally thought of something (if it hasn't been already) and
put one together (after many trial and error attempts). It's a female
bearing with a stainless steel sleeve in a hollow brass case. I tried a
steel case but couldn't drill through it. The case has an oil feed at the
top right or left end (depending which side it's made for). The bearing
provides a longer oil feed and better lubrication. After testing it on my
Standard motor, it is working great.
It has the original look (except for the oil feed hole and the brass)and
works better and you don't have to oil the motor as often.
If your interested in one, let me know. I'll send a few out for free for
testing /feedback.
Thanks
Randy Larson
