My Myford S7 rear bearing has started to rumble a little and need to renew, has done some work since new in 1966.

Myford handbook specifies Hoffmann 125 AC ball races, these seem to be unavailable at the moment, even ARC want to know the bearing sizes before helping. Has any of our brethren changed these bearings recently, if so where were they procured from.

Last time I bought some I got them from Mike Thomas at lathespares.co.uk. SKF bearings. Probably over £30 a pair now, so you can probably do cheaper on the Internet

The SKF bearing number is 7205 BEP if you want to look for equivalents.
