This is the middle left (when looking out from the floor) roller and it look like it suffered a lot of stress before pulling apart and dropping ball bearings on the floor. I believe none of the balls hit spar or telescopes. The roller has been replace and lubed. The dome was run up an down a couple times, and it looks and sounds normal through the motion. I am not sure if there was extra stress on that roller or it just got old. ___end___ Tue Sep 11 01:03:20 GMT 2012 MkIV 16_59.rawmk4 18_28.rawmk4 19_25.rawmk4 20_21.rawmk4 21_18.rawmk4 17_03.rawmk4 18_31.rawmk4 19_28.rawmk4 20_24.rawmk4 21_21.rawmk4 17_06.rawmk4 18_34.rawmk4 19_31.rawmk4 20_27.rawmk4 21_24.rawmk4 17_09.rawmk4 18_37.rawmk4 19_34.rawmk4 20_30.rawmk4 21_27.rawmk4 17_12.rawmk4 18_40.rawmk4 19_37.rawmk4 20_33.rawmk4 21_30.rawmk4 17_15.rawmk4 18_43.rawmk4 19_40.rawmk4 20_36.rawmk4 21_32.rawmk4 17_18.rawmk4 18_46.rawmk4 19_43.rawmk4 20_39.rawmk4 21_35.rawmk4 17_21.rawmk4 18_49.rawmk4 19_46.rawmk4 20_42.rawmk4 21_38.rawmk4 17_24.rawmk4 18_52.rawmk4 19_48.rawmk4 20_45.rawmk4 21_41.rawmk4 17_27.rawmk4 18_55.rawmk4 19_52.rawmk4 20_48.rawmk4 21_44.rawmk4 17_30.rawmk4 18_59.rawmk4 19_55.rawmk4 20_51.rawmk4 21_47.rawmk4 17_33.rawmk4 19_02.rawmk4 19_57.rawmk4 20_54.rawmk4 21_50.rawmk4 17_39.rawmk4 19_04.rawmk4 20_00.rawmk4 20_57.rawmk4 21_53.rawmk4 17_45.rawmk4 19_07.rawmk4 20_03.rawmk4 21_00.rawmk4 c17_36.rawmk4 17_51.rawmk4 19_10.rawmk4 20_06.rawmk4 21_03.rawmk4 c17_42.rawmk4 18_16.rawmk4 19_13.rawmk4 20_09.rawmk4 21_06.rawmk4 c17_48.rawmk4 18_19.rawmk4 19_16.rawmk4 20_12.rawmk4 21_09.rawmk4 18_22.rawmk4 19_19.rawmk4 20_15.rawmk4 21_12.rawmk4 18_25.rawmk4 19_22.rawmk4 20_18.rawmk4 21_15.rawmk4
