[R-390] Differences in Slug Carriers

[Joe Foley]

I've got one of those decks without the rod, too!

I was wondering who made them.

Are you sure it was Collins?

The RF deck in my EAC has the bearings but I believe
they are assembled incorrectly as the roller that
rides in the slot is narrower than the roller that
rides on the cam, I'd think it should be t'other way
round, it would fit better.
