I have a Bosch fixed-base router, either 1.75 or 2.25 HP, (motor assembly 19054, according to the parts list I got from Bosch) that I purchased in the late 80's new, and I have probably used it a couple of times a year, for some hours over a few days time, most years since then. I think I'm going to need to replace the bearings soon; it is starting to exhibit some RPM variations and that "tight" sound that usually precedes more severe failure.
My question is whether by chance anyone here knows the specs or standard bearing numbers for the front and back bearings in this tool. I have contacted Bosch, and as I figured, everything is obsolete/no longer available due to age of machine. I am planning to try a few of the Bosch service centers to see if they have anything that works, and have requested the bearing specs from Bosch customer service, but that may be a lost cause. I would like to have the bearings in hand before I tear the router apart, obviously.
Any input appreciated -- thanks.
