My first “serious” turntable in the early 1970’s was a Garrard SL-95B. I found out decades later that my mother’s English Army friend worked at Garrard in Swindon, Wiltshire. I also learned how to pronounce “Garrard” properly!
Your bearings are excellent! I purchased one for the Type A and it worked absolutely flawless. You may not believe it but it also solved a sluggish cycling even after the mech was otherwise cleaned and rebuilt. In short, the unit is now quiet and cycles like new. Thank you.
Those changers are so much trouble to service. The SL-95 has the same basic mechanism. I recently bought a Lab 80, I expect that to be just as difficult. I also just got an SL-65. That will be easy.

I had a Zero 100 back in the early '70s and really enjoyed it. I sure wish I still had it.
Almost as complicated as a RCA RP-168/RP-190 but having a video on disassembly is very well appreciated Steve.

I had to break one of those down completely for a good customer as it was jammed with hardened grease. I hope I never see another one.

Thanks. I have a Lab 80 needing one of these bearings.
Nice job.
