Title: bushings or bearings
Post by: ktroyh on March 20, 2014, 09:10:38 AM

I have an old irving kaye super soccer table and it needs a little attention.

First would be bushings/bearings. What is your preference and do you know of a fit?

The table bushing hole diameter 1 5/8.

Thanks,

Troy

good question I have thought about asking here. I searched for an answer to that on the web but didn't find much info except on one website that said that  some cheaper tables have bearings but good ones have bushings but it seems to me even the cheaper tables have bushings. you know the ones you have to clean and silicone every couple of hours and even the slightest bend in a rod causes it to bind up. I know i didn't help but i seen your question here for a couple days. keep checking back. the regulers on here sometimes take awhile to answer questions.

These things are pretty specific... i know my billiards vendor has many cheapo bushings on the shelf... that might be a good start.  I had issues finding mine but caliper measurements and photos can really help with telephone or email conversations.  Post a photo?
