A guy I work with stopped riding this into work and I asked what was up. He told me our only bike shop told him they could not get parts for the BB. Nonsense!

My daughter likes riding this one. It’s older than she is. Nicely done.
Really beautiful! What’s the drivetrain setup?
Do those use press fit BBs? I know some Fishers did. Not great but not the deal killer the shop tried to make it
Is that circa 93
I put new Phil Wood press fit bearings into my ’90 Hoo Koo E Koo. A pain in the ass, but totally doable!
So long as the spindle and circlips are present, the bearings are on Amazon or from any local bearing supplier. There are a couple of videos on YT that demonstrate how to press them in. I try to grab these whenever they pop up locally on the usual online places.
I have a very similar bike, slightly different colorways. The BB on my bike was all rusted and messed up. I just bought some cheap bearings and rebuilt it. Still going strong.
