Hi Neil-
Any update on the status of the 6 frame extractor with the bearing problem?

The motor is working but the carousel is not spinning.  The extractor was noticeably loud tonight and changed pitch when the carousel stopped spinning.

With the extractor you will get some uncapping buckets and a knife  and strainers but Mary said the scratcher was missing. If you don't have one let me know and I'll see if we have another.
