Default Small, cheap, thrust bearing source

McLendon is in Woodinville and they have small cheap bearings in stock. They are
in the plastic bins on the west side of the main fastener aisle, on the north
end of that aisle under the security cameras.

For small bearings you can't really beat roller skate bearings. There is a
sports equipment rental outfit in Woodinville, can't remember their name,
something like Play it Again Sam, anyway they rent rollerblades and as such they
have to rebuild them and they have tons of old bearings. I once bought half a
coffee can full for five bucks from them. Or you can buy new ones at the Target
store in Woodinville, you get eight ABEC-7 bearings for like $14.
