Lou,
I'd like to think it's a sleeve bearing, if the model you have was made in the '70s. BTW, do you have a picture of that specification sheet for the 606? If so, please either upload it here, or send it to me at ClassicTVLover81@comcast.net (my new primary e-mail) or to benjamin.marioe1@gmail.com (alternate, use in case my primary e-mail doesn't work). The 606A is the model with the square headlight (like the 880, 903 and the later 608 commercial). All the 606A's I found here and there, have the square headlight. Attached below is a picture of a 1973-built 606A (with replacement gray zippered bag, and a 1988-91 light blue Adjust-O-Rite plate) by VCCC user djtaylor. All "Z" models have the zippered bag for disposable paper inserts. But Royal didn't explicably include that designator on the nameplate until 1990 (e.g. 670Z, 690Z). ~Ben |

Lou,
I wanted to say that your 1984 model 611, if you still have that to this day, would only have the rear ball bearing.
Royal phased out the replaceable front bearing between 1976 and 1979 on those models with ball bearing motors.
Here's a picture of a 1971 model 801 that had the replaceable front bearing. Note two red oil caps in this case, which is of course different than the 801 in Nick's picture in which screws served as the caps.
And in a 1985 Royal owner's manual, it states that at the time... "Some models have two oiler caps: front and rear of motor housing. Ball bearing motors have only one oiler cap at back of motor (ball bearing is factory lubricated for the life of the housing). Models 153, 602 and 777 have a protective oiler cap only at front of motor housing to expose oil hole..." This passage would seem irrelevant by the time of that particular printing (April 1985) since pretty much all the Royal motors only had one bearing present.
