[TowerTalk] RE : Bearings in Rotators

[hermans]

Mark,

I observed the same in Yaesu rotors.
Untill today nobody gave me a valuable answer ( so I leaved the origanal
number of balls, but used a special grafit gearbox grease inside )
Just curious what will come out this time.
Have fun Mark.

Objet : [TowerTalk] Bearings in Rotators


Hello TTers ... just musing ... all the CDE / Hy-Gain rotators I have
taken 
apart for the first time had room for a lot more ball bearings than came

with "stock".  Years back, I went to the Bearings store locally and
stocked 
up, and every time I put a rotator back together, I filled the race,
within 
the plastic holder.
What is the consensus on this practice .. why would you NOT do that ..
and, 
of course, why does NOT the manufacturer ... it seems like such a 
no-brainer, but there must be a reason, other than $$$   ????    73,
Mark
