Thanks in advance
Good evening sir,I have a HMV 101B and I receantly restored it. The same very bearing was missing since I opened up the motor and it doesn't seem to cause any harm or malfunctions,it rests pretty good in the brass slot.

From what i’ve heard it is a rather small ball bearing maybe not more than 1mm. I want to have the original size when putting the motor back together.
Thanks in advance
Yes, the problem is still though that i need a new ball bearing and the size of the ball bearing is to me unknown.Garret wrote:I would add the ball bearing. It was designed that way for a reason.

The ball bearing at the bottom of a Victor Electrola motor spindle is .188" (3/16"). Not sure if it's the same as yours, but if it fits into the hole, it will likely work, I would think.Lagge0101 wrote:Does anyone know the size of the ball bearing?

wear marks on the spindle and the fact that I couldn't see what any fresh wear marks on it(used it daily from late february till today and serviced it for research) I can say it's not an urgent thing to fix. Till you find a matching bearing I'd reccommend greasing it very well. Best regards Alexander

I am astonished your machine works without the bottom ball bearing are you sure it is missing , lack of the ball bearing stops the machine dead when playing a record
