Thank you for the most interesting and useful information which makes my purchase a possibility.
How does the O/D compare with the Beaulieu originals? Are the spools still a tight fit which needs a very careful line-up before gently pushing on?

Yes Maurice in every case spoken about there.
If anything, even tighter.
If you plunge for these type, get your engineer to lubricate your spindle shafts well before fitting them and then if over time, your motor breathes its last ever breath as a result of these type of bearings fitted, just request a new one from me as I now have many of these motors, brand new and at a very reasonable price point.

If you go ahead and buy these spindle hubs from Edwin, I recommend on each major service interval your projector receives by your engineer, get him to also remove these hubs and re lubricate the shaft beneath.
This should help prolong the healthy lifespan of your main motor on these , especially if you use your machine to rewind full features of films on it, like I always do with mine.
