Louyang Precision bearing co. is offering two hybrid ceramic units
for $160 without shipping. But delivery time will be delayed until
Feb 20. I advised him it might be possible to have them paid from,
and shipped to, an in China address.
There may be other offers in the works from other vendors for
similar with stainless or chrome steel rings.

Another quote came in from Red Star Bearing Company Limited, from a Mr.
Wang Huamin, general manager. Located in Linqing City, Shandong
Province. Priced at $32 each unit MOQ 10units. This company actually
specializes in producing bearings approximating the size we need, and
nothing else. IOW, thin section ~3-6"~ in ceramic.

Will find out tonight if they are off the shelf and if they will sell us
two units for a higher price per unit. This is another referral from a
different company.
