Am replacing a 30 year old Fafnir bearing TB-3 with the current style which
just came via UPS. Quite a difference! Is it normal for the newer style,
when exerting pressure downward, to rotate with a very slightly "jerky"
movement like a bearing is not properly seated? The bearings sound "loose"
when the unit is shaken. I assume the 3 each 3/8" bolts are for tightening
down on the mast but what function and where do the 3 each nuts go? My
older TB-3 had standoffs from the tower mounting plate; it looks like this
one is just bolted flat against the plate. Comments gladly absorbed.
Thanks, Joe K7MKS
