With the launch of Flamenca / F6 in Denver and SL1200 mk II and factor in the season has kicked in pretty hard, explains my being off forum.
We got a call yesterday from someone, who chose not to introduce themselves asking after the platter.
We have been led to believe from a single individual that the platter does not fit the Mike New bearing…which as Mike has pointed out makes little sense. This is further supported by the many users of Funk’s mk I platter which is no different as regards fit to our mk II.
Still, in the interest of being honest, we replied that as we don’t have one, we replied there might be an issue for Mike New bearings. I won’t say any more but
this post is to thank Richard who has been working hard to prevent mis-information and similarly to Mike New, who has stepped in to clarify various points.

Despite no info from Funk on the new platter to date on the website we find ourselves in the embarrassing position of being out of stock and as I’m pushed for time right now, I’m leaving it to Richard to post a couple of photos.

You’ll see that it is quite different from the original. It is a complex assembly of a hub and an outer “platter” that has Achromat bonded to it.
The end result is technically quite impressive. For more info, please visit the website tomorrow as at long last it is being updated overnight.
