Jon -

If you are not in a great hurry to replace the bearing the Millers are very good with generators. I just dropped off two Onan 6KW units that were taking up space in my garage. They will be removing the armature from one soon and could get you that number if you don't already have it. I expect that you are correct in that it is probably a commonly available bearing with a much lower price than Onan asks.

James built a run test stand for the Onan and also built a test unit that can apply a load and check the output using an immersion heater as a load device. If you don't have yours back in the coach by the time of the work rally you might want to wait for June 1 & 2.

BTW, fixing the food has become too much for Nancy Miller so we are planning to scale Saturday lunch back to something more basic this year. Pot luck will be the theme - burgers, brats and hot dogs will be provided along with condiments but less elaborate than in previous years. Just so you know.

Hey, seeing positive articles on Embraer recently, looks like a better year ahead. Strong outlook for the 70 to 100 passenger models plus some military contracts.
