Default Teac A-6010 bearings

Hi, firstly I am new here and this my first post, so thank you.

I have a late 60's Teac A-6010. I know these machines are neither too common nor popular in Europe but does anyone know the size of the impedance and capstan flywheel roller bearings - I think they would be common to a lot of the early Teacs? Mine are very slightly noisy but I am reluctant to strip an otherwise very fine running machine down for a very fussy and minor reason. The service manual does not even state a part number. Thank you in advance.

The Service manual is less then helpful giving no information on the bearings.

To be fair it's a bad hifiengine pdf. I'm getting a better one from Stereo manuals. But the service replacements were entire shafts including the bearings, so more understandable. Thanks.

Any numbers on the original bearings? they're likely standard sizes

Thanks David - as I say I'm reluctant to strip the machine down to find out though I realise I will have to if nobody knows. I think they are a very common size, certainly common to all pre '74 Teacs. It's very very slight and possibly just strip, clean and repack will do.
