These hubs have the original cup bearing style bearings in them. Most people, if not all, are carrying the sizes to a modern bearing house and replacing them. I don't have the modern replacement numbers but someone will.

 

Or, alternately, these old style cups are easily machined out of semi hard material, if you have the machine to do so, and the ball bearings are very cheap. The cups will drive out like any modern bearing would.

Many thanks for the reply.  

Would it matter if the new outer  cone bearing ran on the thread that normally  took the adjustable cone ..
