Source for .070" approx. ball bearing?

[Thatspec]

My aperture click stop ball bearing flung itself across the room along with one screw, found the screw🙂 (betting it's in one of the plants). Searched through the bicycle box for a spare but those are all too big.
Hoping someone here has been here, done that, and already acquired a lifetime supply... Or can point me in the right direction to acquire one.

I would look at the web for a local ball bearing supplier.

Ultimately that's what I'll do but cringe at the thought of attempting to buy one .070 bearing. Somebody here must have 68 of them left over from this same experience🙂

Pass a magnet over the likely landing place? If you have one handy it is always worth a shot for ferrous objects.

Microtools carry's mini ball bearings. Camera sizes, nothing bigger than 2mm(been a long time)
Their business is tools for camera repair and the like.

Sacophilus, great tip, thanks!

No go though, I give up now!

Landshark, thanks! Looks like MicroTools has packs of five in a variety of sizes, probably not vintage 1953 quality though 😉 I'll use a little modern grease. Of course I'll need to make the shipping charges worthwhile and add a bunch of tools to the order😀

Quick follow up:
I gave the place a good vacuuming and then ran the magnet through the bag contents (gross, not recommended), found it! Of course the replacements from Micro-Tools showed up the same day, appeared to be about 1.5mm size for the Canon 85/1.5. Should you run into the same issue I've got five each of 1.5, 1.7, and 2.0mm, just send me a self addressed stamped envelope. It'll save you from disposing of $100+ on a Micro-Tools order for stuff you don't really need but would be nice to have...

Thanks for that. I never thought of them for stuff like that.
