Guy's a question to everyone with a 1200 in any form using the stock bearing .
Have you ever oiled the main bearing and if so how often .
You see i did mine yesterday (1st time since JAN) and:eek: it was as though my techy had gone out of focus ' sounding a bit smeared , .
It was quite a shock ' i do realize now that the new timestep and Mike New offering will eliminate this inconsistency ' although the stock bearing sounds great but i think ' Technics every 2'000 hours is way off the mark ' for me more like every 6 months or less .
Any thoughts guy's .
The standard bearing appears to have the cutout that originally fed the auto-cam on the old auto models (1300/1400 mk2 etc). My SL-150 bearing is totally enclosed although I suspect it's the same inside. A drop or two on the thrust pad *shouldn't* leech away but if you use too much, it will (I learned from my horology interest).

Chris - I haven't tried oiling my bearing but only because my SL-1210 is only about six months old. I'm not going to disturb it now until I get the Mike New bearing.
Hey, that was my 500th post!
Do I get the equivalent of an eBay blue star?
Congrats, Martin! When you get to 5000, we might consider it! :lol:
In the meantime, would like a custom-user title of some description to commemorate your small but significant landmark? :)
Marco.
Aww, thanks Marco. I feel properly initiated now.
I passed 1000 without even noticing it... :(
It's all about quality, Dimitri :)
You're welcome :)Quote:
