I emailed SKF bearings and asked where the 6208 2RSJ bearings for our TG's were manufactured. This is the response received from Brenda L. Shaak at SKF. com. The correct bearing for your application is the SKF 6208 2RS1. They are made in the USA and Italy. Go to www.ptplace.com launch SKF store as a guest, enter zip code to find the nearest distributor and where their stock comes from. It appears that at least our bearings come from reputable sources. FYI.
