Carriage bearings for 1604?

[FatCat]

Hi all, I've been noticing a noise occassionally coming from the head carriage on my 1604 and I suspect one or more of the bearings is starting to wear. Anyone ever replaced these, and do you know where to get them?

Thanks!

Only the back bottom ones can be replaced, all the others are fixed and can't be removed. If it is any of those the entire carriage would need to be replaced. We can get all of the parts for you and I can get you a quote on them tomorrow.

Hmm, interesting. If you have time Chris, yes, please let me know what kind of costs I'm looking at either way. I will have to do some investigating to determine the culprit(s)

Thank you.
