I was given an aquarius and I think it is missing some parts. Is it just the two sides and a bearing or are there spacers? THanks ---

If you teflon the axel it will be tighter when it is less tight and then you can have it looser without it falling apart. ---

Now this is just something I do with my Aquarius, but have you ever made your own string? If so I’d say make a 10 or possibly 8 thread string from something like Joannes serger thread. (That particular brand is a thinner type of thread, but can be pretty tough all the same.) Something like that fits in the gap of an Aquarius very nicely in my opinion. ---

What I do is I put a little bit of lube on the inside of the gap and the string stops catching in it somewhat.
