Some months back, these bearings were a topic at the list. My recollection of the discussion is that the conclusion was that they are no longer available anywhere, unless CB in New York is willing to part with his few extras. Hopeful, given the different measurement systems in use here, I prowled machine shop supply houses in Japan for the particular size, endured noxous cigarette smoke in my face while otherwise polite staffers hunted through thick dog eared catalogues, but arimasen!
