This exlaipns the references I’ve seen regarding the inner’ and outer’ pockets. Apparently you can get another set of ball bearings from 1UP to increase the resistance further by filling all six pockets.I’ve also seen some discussion of how later models use an alternate braking surface instead of felt. There was some indication that the felt would actually stick to the aluminum if it got hot enough (your photo B may be some indication of the veracity of this claim).I agree that this is very elegant. I’m going to see if I can pick up one of these used.
