Excellent Dale!

Thanks so much for the salvage note!  Hmmm....with summertime yard/garage

Of course their diameters could vary among the manufacturers, as well as the

diving" if I saw one therein; just to check out a machine.....ha.

Take care, Meredith Lamb

I use the shafts salvaged from capstan motors from VCR machines, they 
  are Tungsten carbide approx 50mm long and 3mm diameter and Very 
  highly polished ( mirror finish )
  
Check your local electronics repairer ( if they exist in your area :) 
  dying breed nowdays)
