SOLVED!!? Electric motor, again, help
If you consider what a bad bearing could do - freeze a shaft and blow up
the motor physically. Flywheel jerking around as a bearing grips and lets
go... Flywheel explodes.

Right.
If you replace the $7 bearings with the cheap import ones - then what -
do it every year ?
Have you had trouble with premature failure of import bearings,
Martin?
I wouldn't use one on my spaceship's gyro, but wouldn't hesitate to
use them elsewhere.
Depends on the "import". I've had some that out of the box were worse
than what I was replacing.
OMG! What brand?
Won't even think about russian.
I think the only good things coming out of Russia are its lovely women
(vavavoom!) and its good vacuum tubes.
Polish are not too bad. Taiwanese are
often pretty decent - japanese can be excellent.
I've only seen and used Chinese and Japanese, all without any
failures. But I don't replace bearings as often as I used to when I
was wrenching.
Howe about British,
German, or Australian? They are imports too.
Haven't seen/used any.
For me, Made in USA is an import.
Hah! You give us new perspective, Clare.
