Given all this conversation about Vandervell bearings I would just like to
say that I have a very few Vandervell left, that I would offer to the list.
I am not attempting to bomb the list, I would just prefer to give fellow
listers a chance at them before I put them on E-bay.

$ 40.00
1 set VPM 9253 .010 GT6 & TR6
$ 30.00
1 set VPR 91307 .010 TR7

1 set VPM 91612 std Spitfire; Dolomite; Toledo (1296 & 1493) $ 30.00
