No worries, Mike. You may also wish to read my post #44 here, on the subject of selling more bearings:

I think it's something that you should give serious consideration to. Dave's a good guy to work with (with excellent contacts and a huge customer base) and nothing like Cawley!

Paid for a bearing....and hope more will do soon!

Well done, Arne - trust me, you won't regret it! :clap:
Marco.
It is such an easy choice... :)
Look at other tt's upgrade-parts: for Rega / Gyrodec / Garrard / ... all start with the central part; the bearing.
(even that a modified/upgrade-bearing for a Rega is cheaper...it will always be a belt-drive :ner: )
Now...if someone would make a good bearing-upgrade for my Yamaha PX-2.... :rolleyes:

Hi Folks,
Although I have until now only concentrated on the bearing design for the SL1200, there is no reason why my dessign approach and precision machining cannot be applied to other bearings for other TTs.
It only requires a sample of the bearing or for someone to decide what TT should be investigated for an upgrade Bearing.
For instance is there any reason why the LP12 TT could not be improved by the use of one of my Bearings???
In fact any belt drive TT will improve with a good bearing as the bearing shaft is continually subjected to a side thrust as a result of the tension on the belt.
Well then!
That's a good idea, hats off to the folks who came up with it....(ahem)
Subtle Chris. I like it! :)
Hello all,
Myself and Mike have formed a partnership now for me to act as his authorized bearing re-seller for the UK and Europe. In the interests of openness we have discussed the rest of the world as I have customers globally so if anyone wants a bearing from say Brazil I will supply it via my website with UK tax deducted. I will be holding stocks here in the UK so there will be no waiting once my stocks have arrived and I won't run out, there will be no import duty or tax to pay either which can be a shock for some people who have never purchased anything from outside the EU before.
The price I will be selling the bearing for is £445.00 inc VAT. I have placed an order for 20 bearings with Mike and expect to have them in 3 weeks time approx. I will also be selling Mikes platter for the Techy as it looks very similar to the one I was developing myself but do not have enough spare time to bring it to market.
The Mike New Technics Bearing really needs no introduction as it is considered one of the "must have" up-grades for the Technics SL series of turntables. You can place your order via my website here, I will also place the details in the trade section shortly. Hope mods are OK with me announcing this here.
GREAT NEWS
Well done that will keep lots of people happy :D
How much will you be selling the platters for ?
Excellent news, David, and well done. No problem in making the initial announcement here, as this is where the subject was being discussed. Creating a dedicated thread in the trade area, however, is the right thing to do.
I wish the best of luck to you both on your new partnership. The modified Techy must be allowed to live on, and I'm pleased to have played my small part in making this happen! :)
Here's to the future and many more SL-1200s and 1210s being modified with Mike's superb bearings!! :cool:
Marco.
