The Mike New Technics Bearing

too rich for me!!!

No worries,it was worth a try :D

I'll settle up tomorrow,really looking forward to getting your bearing.

I predict,lots of listening from when it arrives,till when i leave!!

I have now paid the outstanding balance.

Just in the nick of time before the bailiffs were called! ;)

Marco.

I like to cut it close,keeps me entertained......I need to get out more :lol:

For the infomation of all those folks who may be considering a Bearing Base Plate, either now or in the future.
With this batch of Bearings, I have decided to expend a bit more production time and
have included three counter-bored holes to suit 4mm button head bolts.

This will now allow people to fit a Base Plate at a later stage in their upgrade path and gain the full advantage of the bearing.
The Base Plates will be drilled and threaded 4mm to suit the Bearings.

The Base Plates will be bonded to the chassis with expoxy as they are now being supplied this way.
This now allows anyone with a modicum of DIY skills to fit the Base Plate themselves.

Ho Ho, sticking up through the top was a spindle!! Further investigation revealed that he had removed the platter by lifting in the normal way.
However the old brass insert of the bearing had become so loose (as they can do) that he had removed the whole centre spindle and brass insert complete with retaining ring (at the bottom).

Now this demonstrates what I have been saying for so long.
The OEM bearing does not have any mechanical strength, and in this case
it had weakened with time, sufficiently to allow the whole assembly to be removed.

The real problem is that removing and/or inserting another type of bearing sleeve as people have done only aggravates the problem by stretching an already very weak casting. So it is impossible to get the solidity of mechanical structure that is achieved with my totally new design.

...which is why Cawley's Timestep bodge is a complete waste of money!! :exactly:

Marco.
