Can someone help me?
I have been trying desperately to find a place where I can buy Abec 9 bearings preferably the ceramic types - I keep being taken to skateboarding sites and they don’t sell the ones I need

Might I ask where you want to use these bearings? Given the small size, I'm guessing it might be for a pickup arm.
Also do you really need bearings to ABEC 9 tolerances? Even the bearings in dentist drills are only to ABEC 7, and they run at 400,000 rpm, and can suffer axial loads of up to 2N.
How are getting on with sourcing the bearings? I would suggest looking at suppliers of bearings used in dentist drills. Stick to UK suppliers, who from looking at a few sites, only sell bearings made in the US, UK or Japan, so you can be confident concerning their quality.
I may have some suitable bearings: let me know the OD, inner bore diameter, and thickness of the bearings you need.

Try John Nilsen at Audio Origami if it's for a tonearm.
