    Default Help finding turntable oem maker or machinist in the uk

    ear All

    I have done something monumentally stupid - I have somehow managed to lose a part of my turntable bearing on my Amazon Model One turntable - it has a 50mm deep platter with an inverted bearing using a ceramic ball on the top.

    Amazon no longer make turntables - and i am certain he does not actually make the bearing.

    Can you kindly help me please?

    yours feeling PDS (pretty darn sheepish!)

    Hi Loheswaran
    Image attached shows what I think is your model of amazon turntable

    Looking at the materials used, perhaps Rega might be able to assist http://www.rega.co.uk/rega-factory-tour.html
    or maybe even Linn https://www.linnproducts.co.uk/turntables/klimax-lp12

    Hope you can get it going.

    You didn't make it clear what part you need.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!
