The Mike New Technics Bearing

[Stratmangler]

My final comments - there's no mention of the bearing base plate in the options part of the bearing page, yet it's there on the price list.
In fact I cannot find anything which gives information about the bearing base plate anywhere on the site.

If you look more closely you'll probably find more anomalies and discontinuities.

Other than that I think it's a good looking, quick working website - it just needs a bit more tweaking.

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.



Any breed of chicken in particular ? Should be spelt as foul.

I shouldn't laugh , cos my spelling and grammar's pretty awful

It's an expensive item - I'd expect the instructions to be more comprehensive with some photos at the very least.
A video detailing exactly what to do would be preferable.

It's looking very nice, Mike.

Viper Franks technics videos are very good. Got me out of a few fixes.

For those that are interested.
I have now commenced the production of another batch of 25 High Precision Bearings for the SL1200.
These are a slightly modified version of the earlier design, as they are now fitted with a
larger 3/8" dia. Silicon Nitride Precision Ball. This provides for a greater oil pad and preasure area for those people using my Copper Clad Platter.

mike,

Is it worth sending older versions back for you to upgrade them?

[Mike_New]

Hi Andrew,
It would technically be possible to upgrade by returning the bearing and having a new precision shaft fitted, however the cost would nevr be worth any advantage it would offer. I chose to fit the new ball only because it became available to me from my suppliers.

Mike,

Thanks for the reply. I notice over on the Timestep forum that DC has starting pouring scorn over your bearing. I have no idea if you've seen this but I thought it might be worth you knowing.
