Cartridge bearings?

[Thaumaturge]

Need to replace front sealed bearings on a mag. Info is Germany/6200RZ/1BC

See lots similar on ebay but not exact same. Anyone know where iu can get a handy replacement (everything on Google seems to be an import job)?

Go to your local industrial bearing supplier, they will do them far cheaper than bike specialists. There is probably one on your local trading estate. Ask for an SKF or NSK bearing as they are manufacturers to trust. Avoid cheap Chinese bearings from ebay.

6200 refers to the bearing size, RZ means it has a single rubber seal and the IBC part (I'm assuming this is a misread on the OP's part?) means it was made by IBC bearings, a German company.

6200-2RS bearings from SKF or NSK would be a drop-in replacement (you can always remove one of the seals if it fouls on something inside the housing).

FAG are good too.

So are Timken (they own what used to be Fafnir, a brand of bearing that the other group of people I hang out with swear by)
