WTB: Thrust bearing that's for common TV rotors

I have one that is made by Alliance but it's different from what your looking for. This one is where the mast goes through the rotor and sits on the thrust bearing to hold the weight of the antenna and mast. It is a model TBB-1.

Hi MDYoungblood,

I realize this is an old post. Do you still have the TBB-1 available?

If yes, please let me know the price.

In the next month or so, I will be mounting a rebuilt Alliance U-100 on a mast with a TV antenna.

Thank you!

Dan
 
Thank you MD Youngblood.

I appreciate your reply.

Well, I'm confused by the proceeding conversation between someone and themselves... however.... I am also fruitlessly seeking a UTB105 ... if anyone knows a dusty place where one might lie....( yes resurrecting an old thread - dont call Shockwav on me lol... )

McMaster-Carr has thrust bearings of various styles and sizes if anyone with a bad one wants to measure it with a dial caliper.

Have a saved search on Ebay for years. Nothing yet.
Man. If I would have had one of these installed I probably wouldn't have gotten my vq3 shattered by the storm as the rotor snapped. I can't find any matching substitute either. I like how they say it's been replaced by UTB 105 as TB 105 is superceded and yet there's no UTB 105s
