Frankford tumbler repaired

[bellarum]

I've been using this tumbler since 2009 and it's been good for my needs. I had to re solder a cold joint once a few years ago but, other than that it's been solid. The other day it started groaning and randomly bogging down.
I took it apart and found the bearings were starting to seize up. I looked up the part number on amazon and found a 4 pack of bearings for $6. Spent about 10 minutes putting it back together and operates like it should.

That's awesome!

Care to share the bearing numbers, or a link to them on Amazon?

I did the same thing for my old Midway tumbler a few years ago, except it turned out that my daughter already had some bearings that fit, spares for her skateboard.

Just ordered a set in case mine ever fails. $6 is cheap insurance.
