Here is my 2 cents worth. I finished rebuilding my Clausing 8530 mill recently. Did a bunch of bearing research whis is now paying off as I'm rebuilding my Logan 1935-2.
I really doubt that the front bearing was a double ball bearing. It's narrow width at 16mm would make that really expensive. That's why I couldn't find one that fit the demensions. But the front opening is big enough width wise to take a larger width double ball bearing. I'm going to see about that tomorrow. What does Scott sell for a front bearing? Is is 16mm wide or larger?
The widest bearing that could fit is just shy of 25mm but probably 22-24 mm would be it. Not enough room to stack 2 16mm bearings. Won't fit.
