I don't have a 1 inch ball bearing, but I do have a 3/8 ball bearing. I measured the rebound with that. I dropped it from 10 inches, and got a bit over 8 inches of rebound. Would the bearing size have a big impact on this test? I was surprised to see that much rebound. I bought this a few years ago, I want to say I paid 75 or 100 for it. The horn was chipped, I reshaped it some, still not happy with its shape though. thank you everyone for your help with this.
