My family has a connection to the aviation industry that starts in the 1930's with my grandfather who was an ""estimator"" for aircraft manufacturers . No computers back then, all done by ""hand"" Both of my brother-in-laws were military pilots who later flew for many years with the airlines. The father of my best friend in college was a master machinist who worked for Hughes Aircraft Company in Culver City, California. My next door neighbor owned an FBO with a Beechcraft franchise. My daughter started out as a private pilot, then instrument rated, then a CFI, then a CFI instrument rated, until now she flies""Captain"" with a major US airline. So, there was always someone who knew someone in the aviation industry. In the 1990's when I needed dependable replacement idler wheels for my collection of RCA Victor ""45"" record players, it was my good fortune to have an extremely experienced aviation engineer design the identical item I still share with other enthusiasts today. It was no surprise that the original engineering specified high-quality aluminum and o-rings as used for aircraft design. In addition, an ""Oilite"" oil-impregnated main bearing was included in the design. I still retain the original drawings, shown here blurred for obvious reasons. Yes, over the years this design has been ""reversed"" engineered using different, mostly inferior materials, but never correctly as only I have the original drawings. At the time ""naysayers"" who were mostly individuals who tried to ""re-rubber"" 40 year old idlers with worn out center holes said: ""Oh, that will never work, not enough rubber, not enough contact. Yes, they were quite ""WRONG"" We have made and sold thousands of our ""Forever"" idler wheels over the last 30 years." Pictures Share this AdAdvertised byAd Phone Number: | |
