VM Missing Turntable Bearings

Two years ago I was working VM classroom record player.I pulled the turntable off to replace the idler ordered a replacement from Gary Stork and what ever service information he had for it.Upon studing the parts list I noticed that there should be a bearing washer ball bearing and another bearing washer over the spindle,that the turntable sat on.While the turntable was off I thought I would clean and relube the ball bearing,but the bearing was not there just some more washers to take the place of the ball bearing that some service tech lost.This evening I started on Zenith portable stereo record player with a VM changer and that bearing was missing too with only one bearing washer in its place! And I know I did not loose those parts,they would have been on my bench.
