One of the base plates came with the Bearing attached to it as it is shown in picture 1. The other was just the plate itself, but has cutouts drilled to attach the Bearing.
Unfortunately, if you purchase the Base Plate and Bearing seperate, the Bearings do not have the holes drilled to attach it to the Base Plate. The steps will not change either way, and it will not change the outcome of this project. You can see this in picture 2.
I drew arrows in the pictures to show where the screws attach the bearing to the plate in pictures 3 and 4.

Anyone who thinks CDs sound better needs to listen to my system. Besides, my cables sound better than yours.
