The Mike New Technics Bearing

My final comments - there's no mention of the bearing base plate in the options part of the bearing page, yet it's there on the price list.
In fact I cannot find anything which gives information about the bearing base plate anywhere on the site.

If you look more closely you'll probably find more anomalies and discontinuities.

Other than that I think it's a good looking, quick working website - it just needs a bit more tweaking. :)

I've also been looking at the bearing installation document - some photos would help.
Just found more typos in the platter description.



Any breed of chicken in particular ? Should be spelt as foul.

It's an expensive item - I'd expect the instructions to be more comprehensive with some photos at the very least.
A video detailing exactly what to do would be preferable.

It's looking very nice, Mike.

Viper Franks technics videos are very good. Got me out of a few fixes.

For those that are interested.
I have now commenced the production of another batch of 25 High Precision Bearings for the SL1200.
These are a slightly modified version of the earlier design, as they are now fitted with a
larger 3/8" dia. Silicon Nitride Precision Ball. This provides for a greater oil pad and preasure area for those people using my Copper Clad Platter.

mike,

Is it worth sending older versions back for you to upgrade them?

Hi Andrew,
It would technically be possible to upgrade by returning the bearing and having a new precision shaft fitted, however the cost would nevr be worth any advantage it would offer. I chose to fit the new ball only because it became available to me from my suppliers.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I notice over on the Timestep forum that DC has starting pouring scorn over your bearing. I have no idea if you've seen this but I thought it might be worth you knowing.
