The bearings in the original traveller were more than 40 years old .I machined new shafts for replacement bearings.
The new bearings were fractionally wider than the old ..
After a very nice exchange of emails , the fine folks at Gerhauer easily convinced me it was time for an upgrade .
Harken is only a few miles from here . I had thought I would go that route . Gerhauer was willing to bore the through holes to match my existing hole pattern for no extra cost .That sold me .
