1981 Ericson 25+ traveler car

[John326]

Has anyone replaced the original traveler car and end stops on their Ericson 25+? It’s a 3/4 I beam track, who makes it and where can I buy a new one? There really isn’t anything I can see stamped with a name on except and old sticker and can’t make out what it says.

"FICO Freeway" was the model, IIRC. I do not know if you can replace like with like, or.... whether you would want to.
Get a bid from Garhauer, would be a first step. The new one will have ball bearings and be a much improved overall design.

Do you think the Ronstan series 19 will work?

 

[Dave G.]

Can't really see the track profile in your pic but as John said Ronstan does make various sizes of I-Beam traveler track/cars/ends & series 19 is the 3/4" flavor. I have been looking at changing mine out and their hardware looks very well built.
