Henry,
      Today at 2015 UTC I shipped one (1) tempered glass Pyrex ball bearing
to replace the one you lost out of your radio. This is the exact same part
that came originally with your PTO. I have enclosed some pics in a zipfile
of the Collins Tuning Condenser that your replacement ball came out of, and
because of the fact it is Pyrex, there is absolutely no wear at all, even
though the bronze worm gear on the condenser has shown moderate wear.
Anyway, I shipped it first class mail to your QTH in England, and the lady
said you should have it in a week to ten days. So, have a good one, es best
