The bearing is an NSK #Z908, its for the Clutch/tail rotor drive for a Hirobo Shuttle ZX Nitro Heli that was manufactured in the early 1990s.....its the ONLY part I need to make this ol heli airworthy again! If specs/measurements are needed. ill mic it, if there is a crossover bearing that is this quality, that would be fine too! I REALLY want to get this antique flyin again!!

Grim, two prolific quotes came to mind immediately after I made the discovery:

Rodney Dangerfield-- "I TELL YA', SOMETIMES IT AINT EASY BEIN' ME"!!

Moparbarn-- "DONT PLAY STUPID WITH ME.....IM BETTER AT IT"!!

Readers???? Oh hell no, binoculars - oops I meant bifocals here!! Can't even find the door without 'em. My worst experience concerning glasses happened about 4 years ago. I was leaving the fall Nat's in Chuckytown & stopped at Hardee's for some food & to wash my hands & glasses. Dropped them while drying them off. Glass lenses (required for safety glasses), one lense shattered when it hit the tile floor. 10 hr. drive home, in the dark, 'bout half blind, depth perception gone without them! Got home around 2AM, splitting headache, had to be at work 8AM. Fun stuff...
