HI Richard,
Who is Dave??
You are making a mistake, in my opinion the standard bearing is not suitable for the much heavier ETP Platter.
The softer support material will quickly wear.

In the early days I actually ran one of my copper bonded platters with a Techi bearing, and it
soon showed signs of deep wear on the bearing pad.
I know that the ETP platter is not as heavy, but the potential wear problem is not diminished.
Your ETP platter is quite a bit heavier than the stock item, so I'm inclined to agree with your comments about undue wear on a stock bearing.Quote:

That SL12xx had a MNB and an ETP platter IIRC ........
Yeah, there is that... That's something old Creepy has rather 'mysteriously' gone quiet with. He was supposed to have measured it and reported on its technical efficacy. If it was shit, in that respect (according to him), we'd have heard about it by now ;)

Yes I believe it belonged to a guy called Littleboy!! who must be well known to many!!
Not to me, Mike. Never heard of him....
