Hi Everyone,

Does anyone have a source for an inexpensive thrust bearing?  I have a
plate on the top of my tower with a hole through it, and was thinking of
putting a thrust bearing on, but the ones I found were around $50 which
for my frugal self is a bit spendy for a thrust bearing.  It seems that
there is probably a cheaper way to do this with some kind of automobile
bearing or a sleeve of pipe and some set screws, etc.  Does anyone have
any advice?

73,

Rob, KL7NA
