    Yes, I tried it.
    Being perfectly honest it fitted, but the platter sat slightly higher.
    I just didn't think that the fit was the best as it appears that the outer profile of the shaft taper on the Mike New bearing is different from the original Technics bearing and the Spin bearing.

    It was not wobbly, I just didn't like the bigger gap under the platter. The fact I preferred Spin made it easier.

    Excellent. Thanks for the detailed response; just what I was after.
    I suspect that the Funk Spin is utilising a genuine Technics spindle so that would make sense!

    The spindle used is of the same profile on the taper, but it's a new part.

    Hi again everyone, and I've been on a very long hiatus...

    I just noticed the Funk bearing and, seeing that the Mike New bearing, which is now out of production, was required for those of us who wanted to use a Tenuto or Rubato mat, I can't help wondering if it can handle it. Could anyone shed any light into this?
    My system:

    1. Technics SL-1210Mk2 (stock... For now)/Ortofon 2M Red cartridge/Musical Fidelity V-LPS preamp
    2. Philips DVP-9000S Cineos SACD/DVD player
    3. Audio Analogue Primo Settanta integrated amplifier
    4. Klipsch RB-25 loudspeakers
    5. Monster Cable Interlink 250 interconnects
    6. Roister (that's a Greek loudspeaker company) OFC speaker cables
    7. Atacama Nexus speaker stands

    Konstantinos.
