I am rebuilding two Slingerland Supreme timps, and have run into a problem.

I am in need of 6 tension rod "bearing washers" (Why they're called this is beyond me-no "bearings" involved) for 3/8 tension rods that fit into the hoop for the head. The top of the washer is rounded, the bottom is flat.

There used to be an outfit that refurbished Slingerland timpani and then sold them on eBay, but I cannot find them anywhere, so they must have gone out of business.

Anyone know of anyone?

Thanks so much!
