–Walked to UPS to pick up Fushi spinner bearings. They work as advertised: smooth, quiet, long-spinning. At $1 each with quick delivery, they’re likely going to replace the Unquiet Hands Jupiter bearings from Taiwan I’ve been using.
–Built a “tool” for working on sliders. Put some polyimide (Kapton) tape on one of my powerful bar magnets, then put the Pyra slider on that and disassembled it. Worked fine. The Pyra isn’t much of a test, though, given its construction, so more excitement awaits.
