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

I want to thank everyone who expressed interest in the Edison bearing. I've
received enough request that will keep me busy for several weeks. So I'm
sorry I can't make the offer free anymore.
One question is why make one in the first place?
A collector once said to me years ago; one of the
So why didn't you use something like sintered bronze for the bearing? It
absorbs and holds oil.

Thanks so much for your input, I really appreciate it. The only reason I
used stainless steel is that it would last longer. The oil in the bearing
would sustain it.Bronze is such a soft metal but did not know about it's
absorbency. That may possibly reduce any wear on the metal. I will try

Sintered bronze is what is usually used as replacement mandrel bearings and
they do use it in electric motors too.I've been using multiweight
automotive oil lately I have some 0-20 synthetic that seems pretty nice.

It is important to note the difference between bronze bushings and
sintered bronze bushings. The former require regular lubrication as does
any other plain bearing. But the sintering process produces a material that
is porous and will hold lubricant in its pores which significantly reduces
That explanation of machining sintered bronze is probably why Randy is better
off doing what he started with, since he can do it at home without specialized
equipment.

Sharp carbide tool bit and slow feed and you are good to go. The major
problem is the type of oil used by many people to oil these machines.

Hi Bruce,
I have several bulged Sonoras in my collection, and have had about six
copies of the sheet music you mention. The image and mention of the record
on the sheet music has puzzled me for years. As far as I know, this
particular record was never produced, nor was the company making any
