Well, lost some bearings to my cam cleat... Its a schaefer. Can you get replacement bearings or anyone know what size b.b's they are?
or scrap it and buy another?
 
Got an Ace Hardware or similar nearby? Most have a loose parts section and carry ball bearings of various sizes.

Harkin has rebuild kits.

Schafer, I don't see that. But, if you find your Shaefer cleat you'll likely see it uses "Delrin(tm) Ball Bearings". So probably replace with appropriate sized Delrin(tm) Ball Bearings if that's the case.

Harkin uses Delrin as well or Torlon TM ball bearings depending on load rating. You can find replacement ball bearings for those for less than a couple bucks online.

But, before I would do anything, I'd reach out to Schaefer for guidance.
 
I ordered some 4mm bearings off amazon. That size seems to be the most common. I emailed Schaefer and have not heard from them yet. i'll try these and see if they fit.
