WTD: Original SL1200/1210 Bearing

[synsei]

I've discovered that the bearing is knackered on my Techie. When funds allow I will be seeking to replace it with one from Vantage Audio although this probably won't be for a couple of months. In the meantime, if anyone has a spare original bearing that's no longer needed which is in reasonable condition I would be interested for the right price. ;)

Is this link of any use?

Bit pricey, but new.

That is half the price of a Vantage Audio bearing John which is why I'm trying to steer clear of a new Technics replacement bearing. I'm hoping that someone who has upgraded to a Mike New bearing might have a half decent original bearing they might want to move on for a few quid which will keep me going until I have the funds for a VA bearing ;)

Apologies for another bay link. Any good?
