ear All

I have done something monumentally stupid - I have somehow managed to lose a part of my turntable bearing on my Amazon Model One turntable - it has a 50mm deep platter with an inverted bearing using a ceramic ball on the top.

Amazon no longer make turntables - and i am certain he does not actually make the bearing.

Can you kindly help me please?

yours feeling PDS (pretty darn sheepish!)

Hi Loheswaran
Image attached shows what I think is your model of amazon turntable

Looking at the materials used, perhaps Rega might be able to assist http://www.rega.co.uk/rega-factory-tour.html
or maybe even Linn https://www.linnproducts.co.uk/turntables/klimax-lp12

Hope you can get it going.

You didn't make it clear what part you need.

It the part the goes over the sleeve and into the platter - the platter is about 4.7 cm thick and the centre is about 4.6cm

Dear All

First of all everyone who read this and racked their brains to find this for me.

Total genius that I am did a full house search...

...then...

I FOUND THE DAMN THING NEXT TO WHERE I UNBOXED THE TURNTABLE

What a total imbecile I know :doh::doh::doh:

I didn't know Amazon had stopped producing turntables. When I heard my first, and only one, at Walrus HiFi, I was so tempted to sell my LP12, the only thing that stopped me was the amount I'd invested in the Linn. Looking back I wish I had, they are beautiful tt's. Pleased you found your part.
