[TowerTalk] US Tower replacement pully bearings

[Raymond Benny]

All,

I just purchased (2) KP8 NOS, (New Old Stock) Fafnir bearings that are used
inside the aluminum cable pulleys on US Towers. The price is $12.95 each,
by far the cheapest I've ever seen. BTW, KP8A bearings are not the same,
don't buy those!

The eBay link is:

-The seller is:  smartparts57
<https://www.ebay.com/usr/smartparts57?_trksid=p2047675.l2559>  in New
Jersey. Fast free delivery, less than a week. Don't know how many he has
less, but there is a 15% discount if you buy more than one.

Again, these are the bearings used in many of the US Tower aluminum cable
pulley assemblies, just the bearing inside the pulley.  Not sure if Tasijan
uses the same bearing. They are easily pressed out and replaced with a new
bearing.

Ask if you have any questions.
