You can buy old stock open or sealed bearings with little risk unless no longer packed to keep out moisture.? If i find an older sealed bearing I need that is difficult to find new, I just pop the seals and inspect or most likely replace the grease and put
the seals back.? Shielded bearings are best to buy new as you have to be better than me to replace a shield.? The one thing you don't want to do is spin a dry bearing, even when cleaning.? Using air to spin out the mineral spirits when cleaning is a good way
to screw them up.? Dave

I look for recognized manufacture usually old stock. I wouldn¡¯t consider something on e bay as necessarily ?junk .
All your Felder stuff is sealed bearings.the. Grease is good for at least 10 years if used daily.?
I use my machines in machine shop regularly, ?I am shocked ?at how little time I put on the
Machine with timers.
I would not worry about sealed bearings giving out.
I dislike ?VOC a lot so try to limit my exposure.?
