Hello All - After a long dig through the garage, I finally unearthed the Holy Grail to the question - I hope. I will attempt to post pics over the weekend, but am in digital camera hell in which my new camera doesn't work

and has broken the software of the reliable old camera. (Off topic, but if

anyone else has gone through this fresh hell of the aforementioned with a Kodak Z740, please contact me off the list with a solution or advice on a good memory card reader for Win98 and or Mac OS 10.2.x.) Back to the "on topic" part... This looks almost identical to the "ALES" NIB BB that I located this eve. Here's what I know about mine... Box

is labeled/addressed " A.LE.S Via Conte Giusso, 8 - BARI (Italia) " on what

would be the side of the box. Top of the box reads " ALES - Applicazioni Leghe Speciali - Movimento Centrale - Ciclo Corasa " and has a hand applied

yellow sticker to the box the reads "Edramon". (Translations appreciated). On to the tech details - Visually identical to the photos posted, with minor differences. The differences are that my spindle has no stampings on it, has been drilled through along the length and the drilling

threaded for the crank arm bolts, and even has drilled through crank arm bolts! Although not sealed, it has cartridge bearings in the cups. Verrrrry

light... Hope that this shed some light for inquiring minds and will post photos of box and parts as soon as I get out of digicam purgatory.
