I've got an RA60 that I really must get round to playing with... IIRC the 
printset is on bitsavers...

As for the bad bearings, if it's the spindle itself, you've got problems. 
There's no way you're going to take one apart and replace the bearings. 
IIRC it's all pressed together (and sufficiently tight that no normal 
gear puller will shift things), you may well find a ferrofluid seal in 
there, etc.

If it's the spindle motor, you can almost certainly do something. The 
motor will come apart, the bearings are most likely standard.

Of course if you're very lucky, it's just the fan ;-)
