Ok... any of you guys deal with them? There is a Motion Industries shop not
far from my house, and I have looked up a couple items on their website, but
I haven't done any business with them yet. I was curious how their over all
business attitude is, and how they might treat a small purchaser / hobbyist.
Yes I know that will vary dramatically from individual to individual, but
often its also a reflection of the top down management and customer service
attitude.

Motion and Applied (used to be called Detroit Ball Bearing) will sell to individals. Your
reception may vary more by store location and personel more than any corporate policy.

I wish each of them had a web presence as good as McMaster-Carr's.


I used to buy some things from Bearings, Inc. when i lived in Ohio.

They were my source for loose balls to rebuild heavy duty antenna
rotors. A lot cheaper than OEM and didn't take three months to arrive.
A box of 100 would do four rotors.
