Need "BTDT" help with Logic DM-101 bearing

Hi All,
(comment: no turntable topic/area?  really?)
I'm looking to find someone with enough experience to either guide me away from trouble or assure me none exists as I try to fix a problem with my old Logic DM-101.  Basically, the ball bearing that provides a point contact at the bottom of the spindle easily gets off center.  I'm trying to understand 1) why?, 2) how to remedy and 3) can i simply take the bearing out of the sub-chassis and work on it more easily.
One would think the ball would fit in the sleeve and not move. Not true!  Apparently there is a cavity down there and it can move off center, causing small but sometimes audible wow.
PM me if you like or reply here.  TIA,  -G

I do plan to take it apart and fix.
Can we get back to "who has taken the bearing out of the sub chassis and can guide me to any pitfalls". i Don't have tome or interest in wasting time where i can avoid it.
Millercarbon - what's your experience with the Logic?  Its a remarkable table in many ways.  I do not (yet) know why mine has this oddity.
Thnx,
G

Hi itsjustme.My extensive solution to your bearing problem was not posted 21/02/20 for some reason. This site is inconsistent. I have given up after 2nd attempt.Steve.
