I apologize for jumping in without having followed the entire thread, but
has anyone suggested that it could be as simple as a cracked bearing ball?

Oh, I think a cracked ball will go from bad to worse at a very rapid pace.
Possibly a dinged ball in the backgear assembly (like when it ran over the
bits of the retainer cage) could just get noisy and stay that way for a long
time. That's the kind of shape my back gear bearings were in, and they
generally made a loud whirring noise. But, a really cracked in half ball
ought to be fairly disasterous.

Bridgeport heads are not loaded heavily enough to crack a ball. So it
one was busted..it was a flawed ball...and they are very very rare.

Did the OP track down the noise with the screwdriver stethescope?

Where was its home?


gummer was back at his squat by 6:00pm this evening, as his reply above
shows. It's very odd he hasn't made any of his usual intemperate and
absurd replies to the posts elaborating what a stunningly stupid loser
he is. I know he has seen those posts. I wonder if maybe - just maybe
- the message of what a massive loser he is has finally struck home, and
he realizes there's no denying it? It seems highly improbable, but I
suppose stranger acceptances of reality have occurred previously.


I heard a report that Wieber was rushed to the ER after a freak
accident. Seems he was confused about which end of his screwdriver
stethoscope was which. In addition to the hearing loss, the fluid leak
was lapped up by a few dogs, causing them to be "adopted out," if you
know what I mean.


That is a lie! It was only an infection caused by ear mites. Everybody
gets them now and then. shrug And there's nothing wrong with my 20
dogs either. Im not trying to brag snicker but how many dogs do you
have...Hmmm? Sucks to be you.

BTW, here's an "engineering" tip: I store my 7 to 13 screwdriver
stethoscopes with the correct end out of harms way in a sort of
hammock made from something I found on sale for $1.99 at HF. Not sure
what it was supposed to be, but it's various bits of tubing connected
together. There are also some plastic gizmos that can be repurposed as
earplugs if you block the little holes in them.


You think your funny, but I know all the best stethoscopes. The one
your talking about isnt 2 bucks its four! And I can prove it.
http://www.harborfreight.com/mechani...ope-69913.html Who has
that kind of money? Cash is very... very tight right now. shrug So
screw you pustilant leftist! Im submitting your name to the
listkeepers again. VBG When the People drag you out and hang you
from a bit of barbed wire after kicking you off a lawn chair..Ill be
very happy. In fact..I hope the doers send me a video clip of your
ending. Knowing you were disposed of, along with the many thousands of
your bretheren..and knowing that you will be gone into a mass grave
somewhere along with the rest of the trash who have tried so hard to
ruin America..will allow me to believe that America will indeed
survive Get your affairs in order you mentally ill welfare queen.
