Default Question Garrard Lab 80 / Washers

Hi, I have a lovely Garrard lab 80, that I currently am working on to get back in perfect working order. 2 questions. Anyone know the exact size of 5 thrust plate ball bearings under the main platter? And, shouldnt there be a washer under the idler wheel. I know the brownish paper-like washer that sits on top of the idler wheel with the circlip. But originally was it the same type of washer that also sits under the idler wheel?

Hello Jacob,
I have scanned the parts list for the Garrard LAB 80 and can confirm that two identical washers are used on the idler unit. The parts list item 26 lists two.
I have checked the ball bearing size on my own Garrard LAB 80 and they appear to be 2.34mm. It is difficult to get the ball central in the callipers but I think it's very close. Hope this helps. The washers are made of 'Presspahn' what appears to be a very thin form of Paxolin. [Tuxite] Regards, John. [Details taken from LAB 80 manual not the SL75/95 seen in picture]
