WTB - Traveler Car for CD36. Nicro-Fico 1169

Post by ric14854 »

The bearings on our main traveler car are worn out. Not ready to replace the entire system if someone that has upgraded to a new system and has a unit that is still serviceable i would be interested in purchasing.

I assume that is much heavier built than the one on the 30? Dennis

Can't you just replace the bearings? If Rig-Rite doesn't sell them I would check with McMaster-Carr.

Probably not near you but I saw one at a marine consignment store in St Augustine, FL. I almost bought it just because I knew someone would need one, but I didn't. Sorry :(

When I was in a similar situation, I changed the jib traveler to a fixed system and repurposed that car to the main one. Many will say it is not the best traveler car around, and they would be right, but its still working :)
