IanMac Bearing

Happy to see you back posting Ian. I hope everything is heading back to normal
As Mike says above Ians bearings are amazing and very well made. I would buy another one if they were ever produced again as not much on the market can touch them at the price.

Good to see you back Ian

I have 3 steam locos all needing attention, one of these is a 4 man lift, but they will be running again this summer.

Hello Ian,

What an ordeal for you. I'm happy you are on the mend and making good strides to getting better.
In late 2017 I asked to be put on your "want" list for the Ianmac Bearing.
I still want to be on the list and am ready to purchase the bearing if you decide on making a new batch.

All the best
Regards,
Doug Olsen

I have looked at making a small batch of bearing for a few members but the bad news I got from the supplier who provided me with new bearings a year + ago was -

Panasonic have discontinued pretty much every part for legacy 1200/1210's (including bearings) and interchangeability with the new models GAE / GR is limited to pitch knobs and arms rests so I'm afraid I can't supply.

One can look at good secondhand bearings since my mod has them running in oil but finding "Good" bearings is another problem

Ill keep looking at this but its not encouraging.

Not so long ago (months) I found somebody selling original bearings with the KAB base modification and soft putty for under the bearing housing. Cost was about £65 from eBay. Quite happy with the one I bought from him but I expect you can still buy from KAB in USA if you want to mod yourself.

Hi Ian,

Is it not an option to do the work to a customer supplied bearing, assuming you OK it before commencing any work?
