Hi Dave, The bearing looks so much better with a flash nickel plate on it.
Speaking of nickel plating when you get things set back up let me know. I
still have the H weight, but I need to finish the prep on it. The weight will
have some surface pitting in it but I am not concerned with that. I finally
started to prep it I should be finished around the summer or fall of next year.
I removed most of the rust and corrosion on it. I may try to nickel plate at
work, they have the setup there but it is not being used. Steve
