The Mike New Technics Bearing

Postman has just been with two nice boxes for me and didn't ask for anything in charges, gone under the radar this time methinks :yay:

Bearing arrived today ......... And already installed. :eyebrows::eyebrows:

Another one just arrived in Stockholm:) I'll be fitting it as soon as my new Audiomods arm and rebuilt DL103R arrives from Dom at NWA...

Still waiting for my ETP platter to come !! As a side, I've just purchased a very nice record weight - Please note that Mikes bearing spindle is thicker / bigger than your usual stock spindle so you may find that your weight or the weight you have your eye on does not fit.

Yes - I have found that the Michell record clamp, for example, does not fit on the Mike New spindle. The Audio Technica AT618 record weight, on the other hand, does fit.

Still waiting here.I hope i get away with,not paying any fees as well :lol:

So come on then those that have recieved and installed,how's it all sounding?

I used to have a Michell clamp and it fitted the MN spindle perfectly fine.

I've been a narna ! - Got the weight home (It was delivered at work) and found it fits like a glove so very very pleased to say the least :D

Hi Folks,
On the subject of spindle diameter, I specify the diameter to be
7.18mm nominal. Also I make it 3mm longer to allow for thick mats
and records. Obviously there are tollerances on the hole diameter, set by the makers of center weights and this would explain why some fit and others don't.

Ouch! - Just got hit with a £60 customs charge (£52 duty + £8 handling)...
grrr...grumble...mumble....
