I just received my order and was wondering if your's has about 4-5 balls missing in the ball bearing housing as well?

Yes it does, but I think it's done that way to make it not so tight to turn. Mine works great and will reel in over 400' of line quickly
859624
yes,but I thought that is how it is suppose to be since it has not affected the performance in any way.

It is to have that gap, that way it allows sand and such to fall out and not lock up the bearings. It should be loose when used around sand.

I got mine on ebay and also got a smaller ball. I'm hoping the answers are correct and it will stretch out. I know the ball I already had seems a lot thinner than this one. So maybe that's why.

Yes, like Tri said, it has one less ball bearing. It's pretty much the same otherwise. :)

Hi Rosalinda, Somehow it seems that we had problems finding these parts, but we did finally find them.I would suggest you check the name of the company via E-Mail, and call them asking your searchcollection directly to them. . Hope you kept the box it was packaged it.Renee

The machine comes with 24 balls. Replacement balls can be purchased at your local sporting goods store.

Yes. There is a sealed bearing in the inner hub. Whether it is ball bearings or roller bearings I cannot tell, since it is sealed. But it is just like the original equipment.

Bearing assembly is complete, some use new bolts and a new nut. Use your old hardware unless defective.

Hey Angela,They are still unopened in the plastic blisterpack in which they arrived, but it feels like just 8 bearings and NO tools that I can see or feel. Hope that helps.

My ball had no oil either the ball itself had tacky feel to it. I cleaned it with ball cleaner. then sanded it. Look on youtube for factory specs.

No Ball Bearings... Pin with pointed tip (not sharp) slides into base. I was surprised at how smooth it is without ball bearings. Love Mine!

No warranty that I know of. But, the first one that I received had disassembled a ball bearing of unique design. They requested that I return the defective unit (with a prepaid UPS label). I returned the unit and a new one appeared pretty rapidly.All of that said, the do not stock any parts. The bearings that might give problems some day and nothing of the sort (and in the right size) seems to exist in the US. These were made on the shop floor, no one stocks them. If I have another bearing fail I expect to replace all 8 with something available here, which will likely require new link arms ( 4). Not a big thing - but . . .And, it is a neat toy.

There is sand in the ball, but I didn't find any in the box. Could be a shipping issue.

Am sorry to hear one of the balls fell off. We never had any issues with the unit left in California nor the one we have now in Portland. My engineer husband suggests you contact the Prodyne folks for an additional ball, as parts like these are generally custom and would be somewhat expensive to replace. Good luck! Rebecca
