A lot of Matched pair spindle bearings can go for around that and higher!
I think I was lucky when I bought the pair for my smaller Hardinge
lathe. I think it was about 250 the pair. BUT the Kluber grease for
these came to 80 Quid! (I think that was for 2 x 50mg tubes) They are
packed for life so the grease has to be good..

Luckily it's not for me, it's for a customer, though I'll probably
have to stump up for it for a couple of weeks :-(
Waiting to hear back from my regular supplier, he's trying to find one
at a 'good' price for me. He's also trying to find whether a 125mm
shaft seal at 6" OD can be sourced. I've skimmed the worn 5" shaft
down to 125mm, if he can get the seal it'll save me making an awkward
bush for the OD. Standard OD for 125 shaft seal is 150 or, IIRC,
175mm.
