    Let's hope interest will re-ignite and you'll be able to do another run of spindles soon.

    Hi Bernie,
    Thank you for your support, It did not even occur to me that you were being difficult or malicious in any way whatsoever. In fact what you did spurred me to write the earlier post which happily has generated some more interest,
    Thank you again

    Probably!

    But why not just refer to it as a bearing? I thought it was some new invention Mike had made!!

    You'd better get Richard to change the text on solid copper arm boards then.....

    Precision machined from solid brass

    Even so, 80% copper is not solid copper, is it
    I've also been looking at the bearing installation document - some photos would help.
    Just found more typos in the platter description.

    This serves to damp out any latent resonance that may me present in the platter.
    The new platter assumes the use of an external power supply as the existing transformer and power board may fowl the bottom of the new platter.
    Any breed of chicken in particular ? Should be spelt as foul.
