[ARC5] those little bitty ball bearings

[J. Forster]

Measure one of the balls with a micrometer. If it's something standard, like
1/16", you might try your Ace or True Value hardware store. They often have kits
by Sharon or others.

Failing that, try Small Parts.

BTW, I'd replace all of the balls, so you don't have matching issues.

FWIW,
