Hi everybody,

The really fancy Mafacs with allen bolts I saw back in 1980 were $80 per set. At the same time, I bought two sets of Mafac 2000's at the same store for $25.00 each. I was speculating to Seth a while back that the fancy ones maybe had ball bearings. I don't know, but the price difference sure was huge.

I took apart a Dural Forge last night. It has bronze bushings, 12mm bolts and know washers.
