That's awesome that you got your machine all fixed up. It's good to know about the bearings if mine ever dies.

You know, I may try that tactic with my S-9 with the growly bearings.

bearings generally start dragging before noise is audible causing stress elsewhere - increased current draw and erratic back EMF. Is why I asked about hours. I may want to just change the bearings as a wear item.
I use my PAP machine nightly and I feel great!

Those bearing look very similar to the brush roller bearings I just replaced in my Dyson.

bearings are bearings and the descriptor standardized. is no problem to acquire. example expensive wheel bearing in Jag XKE is same as cheap bearing in Chevy. Do not ask how I learned this as a youth.

Pnless they have a PMA number associated with them (aircraft). Then they get more expensive. Just because.

Probably in the neighborhood of 18,000 hours...as an estimate. I don't think my machine will tell me the exact hours.
