Those of yuu who repair HP65/67/97 card readers will know of the 4 little plastic balls under the leaf contact. And how they seem to always get lost.
I've found a source of replacements. They're not cheap, but they are available. 'The Precision Plastic Ball Company' (http://www.theppb.co.uk} can supply 1/8" nylon 66 balls at 32p each + postage + VAT (sales tax), the minimum order is 100 balls or so.
As I said, not cheap, but they do work well.
I have no connection with this company other than as a satisfied customer.
