Post subject:  Traveller slugs/rollers
Heya,

The 18 traveller came with one slug and one roller, or two slugs. Is it still possible to get the rollers? A friend's 18 has two slugs and it's awful trying to get the traveller to move. I saw that there is a 'kit' or 'set' in the catalog - what's in the kit, or is it possible to just order the roller?

Thanks in advance!

Unfortunately the kits no longer come with the ball...only two cylinders. We've lost our vendor for the balls due to a tooling issue, which means the balls are *NLA*. You can try lubing the track, but at this time that is the only option.

Ugg. Any chance that you will ever find a new vendor? If not, would it be possible to post detailed dimentions (for those of us with friends with metal shops, etc.)?

Do a search on the slug & ball parts. This was discussed in the past. Other options may be to place grooves in the slugs to reduce the friction of the two slug set-up. (Similar to a wood dowel).

My company dosn't allow us to use the equipment for personal use any more or I would make myself a few new balls. (I still have one new one left) :shock:
