Re: Dedicated MH Roller Replacement - Finished.

Here's the information from James:

"The dimensions on the bearings are 1/4" ID, 5/8" OD and 0.196 width.
The McMaster-Carr part # for the ones I used is 57155K38."

I just received an oil-impregnated cast nylon rod from McMaster-Carr
(sounds so sexy...) and it should machine up into some nice rollers.
Apparently the only color cast nylon came in was a sickly green, so it
is probably the same manufacturer/product that Atari used. I was going
to try and get some roller assemblies made up here in Dallas, but the
machinist I was going to use is all full for the next few months.
Anyone know of a good source, or Mark, do you want to make a run of the
roller assemblies?
