I'm restoring a Welte roll changer and some of the original wood bearings need replacing.
This machine held 10 rolls for a Welte Philharmonic player pipe organ. With a remote control box you could select any or all of the 10 rolls loaded on the machine and it would play the rolls selected automatically. These residential pipe organs were the "entertainment system" of their day. If you were a millionaire in the 1920's you most likely had a player pipe organ in your mansion.

I have the necessary Delrin/PTFE tubing from McMaster-Carr and need someone to machine the bearings to size. I need 8 bearings made. They are small. Max size is 5/8" OD and 1" long. I'm in northwest Indiana and would like to find someone local to me who I can take the materials to and do the work with me assisting.
