    I don't know whether just to buy one of Dave's refurbished SP10s instead (which is in the pipeline, anyway) and get the 'bearing mod' thrown in for free!

    How much is the bearing mod going to be then?

    Do pay attention Marco!

    The spindle is a solid single piece of polished 303 Stainless Steel and the bearing is polished PB102 Phosphor Bronze. A ceramic ball and PTFE thrust pad are fitted. The whole assembly is in a captive oil bath.

    The retail price including UK VAT will be £175.00 and the A.O.S. price £150 or less if bought as part of a package.

    They could be as little as 3 weeks away?

    Regards
