[TowerTalk] Request for replacement bearing information for tower raising fixture

[Mac]

I did as Kim suggest below and did contact Isheaves and Ray/Raymond  he 
writes back that YES they have this bearing, in fact 800 in stock and at 
29.00 each with a 10% discount on orders of 12 or more.

Considering my age and tower needs plus raising fixture i think i will 
order 12 or so, and my words not have to run this trap ever again, i 
have lost count how many my tower { UST-589 }  needs/uses but its a few.

My technology here is i know when a bearing is bad because the small 
aluminum filings pile up as the cable pass's across the sheave and drags 
a new rut in the original groove that is not turning or most often 
frozen in place...
