One thing that needs clarifying, as my name is mentioned early on in one of the Timestep threads, is that the motor dynamics mod is not compatible with the Mike New platter. I had to remove mine because I was getting speed instability, especially at 45rpm. Clearly the mod is platter mass sensitive, so if you have it and upgrade to the MN platter, then you'll need to remove it.

Thanks Andrew,
I will check it out, nothing that Cawley says would suprise me after all all the crap he has been throwing at my bearings in the past.
However I am now supplying my bearings with an optional fire control feature!
If the temperature according to Cawley law exceeds 353.67dg C a sensor activates a fire extinquisher which releases 2,594 Lts
of foam onto your SL1200. This extra option only costs $1,673.85; but does not include the foam cylinder which can be shipped by sea freight for an extra $457.00 as it weighs 3,679Kg.

The bearing with the new fire extingusher feature is really worth it. It brings a whole new level of performance to the turntable. A mod that is really worth it.Originally Posted by Mike_New
It also helps lower the home insurance premiums.
Anyone who thinks CDs sound better needs to listen to my system. Besides, my cables sound better than yours.

Getting excited...
Hi Will,
I did not realise that you were the two-bearing enthusiast from Lisbon.
I guess I should let all people know that I expect to be delivering bearings this week, from this new batch of 25 to those who pre-orderd in the past month. This will leave me with about fourteen bearings available for quick delivery from this batch, for those lucky people who get in early.

Sorry if I let the cat out of the bag, Mike - I was just too excited!
