Hi folks,
At this point in time I should explain what my situation is in regard to the ongoing production of bearings and ETP Platters.
Regarding the Bearings: As a favour to me as a long standing customer. My toolmakers produced an extra 18 precision shafts (the costly part) when they machined the last batch as they had some spare time on the NC lathe and enough spare material for the exta units.
These are now being used to produce much smaller batches of 5 off.
There are 14 remaining shafts and I have 3 completed Bearings available for delivery. (I delivered 2 Bearings to customers in late May.)
When these remaining shafts are used I do not think that I shall be in a position to order another batch of 25, as the current sales rate
indicates that it will take very many months to sell them and I will have the money tied up during this time which unfortunately is not good
bussiness sense.
I guess what I am trying to say is that there are now available a further 14 High Precision Bearings, when these are sold there may not be any more.
Regarding the ETP Platters: I now only order 2 blanks at a time which costs me more, however I can absorb this.
I control all the manufacturing and machining process's myself so up-fronts costs are not a problem.
However again, the sales are now drying up to the point where I now only get orders very sporadically which does require extra effort to do the work.
It has been fun supplying the upgrades to all of you over the last 5 years, but unfortunately when Technics ceased production of the ol SL1200
interest in upgrades fell off considerably.
However the party is not yet over so throw out your clockwork turn tables and get a SL1200 and fit it with a good Bearing and power supply.
