[ARC5] BC-458 Ball Bearings - sources

[Leslie Smith]

VXB Bearing sell 2mm chrome steel balls in packets of 250 for about
US$5.00
http://www.amazon.com/Diameter-Chrome-Bearing-Bearings-VXB/dp/B004YL4692


Again, I have no knowledge about the size of bearings in capacitors used
in command sets.     "I'm just a poor country boy whose intentions are
good ...."
