Indeed; and to make sure the truth gets out there as much as possible in case there's anyone daft enough to believe how Cawley's spinning the tale!

As i'm 100% sure you are Martin, I couldn't guage other peoples reactions though & knowing how there can often be cross forum problems (take it from me that i have seen it more than enough timesI do hope not, I'm only interested in helping people who are interested in Mike's products) i thought i'd play it safe & open a new browser window
There is method in my madness
& back to the bearing

I am busy reading a book that I cannot put down. I arranged my whole day so that I could have an early night and spend it reading with some background music. I thought let me quickly check what's up on AoS and came across this thread. It was much better than my book and I nearly wet my bed a few times. Cheers for a thoroughly entertaining evening. I thought this day would come... http://theartofsound.net/forum/showt...ivas#post70914
PS. Another auction, not getting any better ("It has been said that Mike New the designer will refurbish/replace at a nominal cost. You need to check this before biding and make sure that it will be OK. I cannot be held responsible at all."). This guy is in a class of his own... hope he's not married, poor wife must be seriously embarrased!!

Marco,
You can try and re-sign up for me if you would. I was a member but now it would seem that I have been barred/banned or whatever without ever being informed.

Marco,
I was talking about VE, somehow the post got out of phase with the general theme of the thread.

Why do they all need to be dismantled and re-oiled? I thought the bearing was pre-loaded and sealed from new.
I can't go on and I can't go back, I don't feel so matter of fact,
I tried and tried to make good sense, What's the good to try it all again?

By "all" do you mean all the ones DC is selling? If so then this will be because these bearings may have been taken apart and touted around machine shops - at least one of them will have been from what I can tell.
