Thanks Clive Ill take it.
I have been looking around to see if I could find any new bearings, so far Ive found one and at a price I didnt like. Looks like Panasonic have cleaned out their stock. Kabusa in the states are also saying the bearings are no longer available.
I have been considering modding bearings supplied by members, which is where we started a few years ago, and the post from Matt prompted me to make some decisions.
Im away next week on hols so Im going to find some thinking time and see what options are available to us.
Intention is to replicate what I have been doing
Ill post when I get back

I'm Mike.
I should have one as well, Can't remember if I've given it away already, I'll have a hunt for it tonight.
Thanks all,
Im in a very wet Northumberland till next Wednesday Ill make contact when i get back.
Going through the kabusa website they indicate that the tonearm/ bearing assembly for the old models are no longer available but the tonearm assmly from the new ones fit the old model but at a very serious price.
Keep old arms/ assemblies etc if you have fitted new arms

Hi Ian
Sorry to hear of your health problems. It's been quite some time since I've posted here. Glad to hear that the mending process is going well and your back in action. Just wanted to let you know that I"m still enjoying the modified bearing I received from you a little over 2 years ago. I'll always be grateful for your help with the mods to the regulators on the board. Your explanations and precise drawings gave me the confidence to modify the board. I enjoy using the turntable almost every day. I ended up also building a Pass Pearl 2 phono preamp that I love. Again, just wanted to Thank You again for your work on the bearing and all your help with the regulator mods. Good luck with all the projects you have lined up. Best Wishes, Bob
Have contacted those with bearings available and looking at making a small batch for fellow forum members, particularly those I promised bearings before I went out of commision.
The number I can make will be dependant on the good bearings I can find, hopefully again from forum members. I will consider modifying a donor bearing.
I have some new tooling to purchase before I can start machining but will keep all posted re progress.
Ian
