<VV> Green Bearing Warning

[RoboMan91324@aol.com]

Thanks Lon,

I believe that the picture in the auction showed sharp edges on the shoulder 
of the bearing.  (not flange)  I think that this is a characteristic of the 
Green bearings and figured that it was a good indicator of the "bad" bearings.  
The "good" bearings seem to have the rounded shoulders.  Can anyone confirm 
this?

Doc
