After a few months of searching (literally, started Jan 9th).  My AHAB 8 Oscillating slider is in the mail.  I know one of the biggest draw backs of these older Ahab's is part availability and I am now understanding why, haha!  I had contacted Fin-Nor (Zebco) directly to no avail (they seem to have great customer service though) but, I was able to order bearings through them.  I do feel that a machined slider would be FAR better, but I'm sure more expensive; maybe a future project.  I'll post some pictures up of the old girl all re-assembled, this has been a project since early January with many new/used parts swapped out.  Looking forward to finally fishing it!

Ok, enough excitement for one day...  :P
