I'm still just as happy with mine !
Ditto... Mine is (quite literally) going nowhere, as it's permanently fixed the base-plate! ;) It stands, however, as one of the most fundamental upgrades available for the Technics.
I'm sure that a few sales will still trickle in, Mike! :)
Out of interest, how many do you reckon you've sold in total, worldwide, since day one of you supplying them?
Marco.
Mine's done countless thousands of hours. I wonder how many revolutions that accounts for?
I do not have an exact count as I did not keep all the records from the early days as I was not expecting it to take off the way it did. However I would say that about 300 have been sold world wide.Quote:

Hi Folks,
Following on from the above post. I received a surge of orders just before Christmas for 6 Bearings.
So I decided to machine up 10 Brass housings and to use the remaining 10 shafts that my toolmakers have in stock.
So I now have only 4 Bearings available for delivery.
And I sadly believe that these will be the last available.
If anyone is doubting the difference one of Mike's bearings makes to the the 1210, I fitted one yesterday in under 15 minutes and the difference is amazing, tighter cleaner bass, mid range more defined and the treble sparkles.
It's like looking out the window on a rainy day and then suddenly the sun bursts through and everything glistens and looks crystal clear.
Hi folks,
I have just received an order for 2 complete sets of upgrades (bearing, Base Plate and ETP Platter)from a guy in Broadway NY and so this now leaves only one Bearing available.
There has been a sudden increase in interest so If I can obtain 15 deposits as I have done in the past then
maybe it might be economic to produce another batch of 25. If not then whoever gets the last one will be the last one!!.

Hi Folks
in the ongoing decision on bearings.
I have now received an additional 3 orders for Bearings and so I have decided that I may commit to making yet another batch of 25
Bearings if I can attract 15 people to commit to buying one on a 50% or 100% down payment.
The decision really is up to all of you out there who have spent much time thinking and talking about it, but have never done it!!
I now have confirmed orders for 5 Bearings so there seems to be an ongoing interest in them.
In fact there seems to be an increased interest in upgrades now that the magical and much hyped SL1200G has been assessed for what it is worth.
If I can attract another 5 customers I could be willing to take a gamble and make another batch.
Mike,
Do you know if your bearing fits the SP-25?
