I can understand that. There aren't any other choices that I know of. If you find some let me know. I'd love to find a supply so I can bring the price down.
If you would prefer to have a rebuilt box you can check with me in a few months. They will come with new bearings and new internal brass piece.

Hi guys, after a little looking only found a old post from 2016 about replacement bearings.
Do we have any updates on where to get them?
cheers,

Thanks for that, pretty sure to ship it to you in the states and get it back would be mega bucks. Transport costs have gone nuts lately.

Your intention is to bring the price down? Where did you come up with the price of $200 to begin with? Unlikely that you paid anywhere near that so my guess is you are buying them as they come up and making up pricing based on the assumption they are rare.
I have purchase two sets over the last year at an average price of $100 with shipping.

Yes, my intention is to bring down the price.

Shipping definitely adds to the cost. Maybe $100 here and $100 back plus the cost of the rebuild which would be $100 labor plus parts. It would be better to buy a rebuilt box and put that $100 shipping here into instead. I can put you in touch with the rebuilder if this interests you. We are setting up a line for these.
