Looking for a cheap extractor frame. Any size to hold up to 9 frames would do. Know T##s do one but does not fall into the cheap grouping. Can anyone help?

Next problem are bearings. Came to the conclusion that any stainless steel flanged bearing would do for the bottom bearing. Did find one on flea bay that claimed to use a food grade plastic but think the quality may be poor. Any recommendations welcome.
 
Andy the cheapest and most efficient bottom bearing is a nylon block drilled out with a drill and a single large ballbearing in the bottom of this hole. The hole should be 1 mm wider than the shaft, ball bearing the same size as the shaft plus 1mm and you obviously do not drill entirely through the nyon effectively leaving a blind hole. I will measure the diameter of my shaft and let you know precise details
