<p>[quote user="pajrr"]</p> <p>Shop men from Baldwin actually changed out the bearings on the 60,000 at the museum years ago. As you stated, the limited movement made the original bearings egg-shaped. I don't know if they have been changed again, but I do know that they have been changed out at least once due to the wear and tear of "museum service".</p> <p>[/quote]</p> <p>That must have been quite a few years ago, no later than 1970 or so (If I remember correctly Baldwin closed its doors in 1972).</p> <p>When did the 60000 go on display and start rolling? Her bearings are likely going or have gone bad again.</p> <p> </p> <p>-S. Connor</p>
