There was someone selling a platter and bearing on here and on the Wam, I suspect that l that's who Dave is
Hence the 'I said I'd buy' bit, sounds more like a reference to a second hand seller.
He still has the bearing for sale.

Sorry, Mike. I don't know what you mean, or what you're referring to as "I said I'd buy it"... Are you trying to say that aniki is Dave Cawley?

No I meant that Aniki might be a 'Dave' ( not Cawley ) as referred to by rchinn who said he had committed to buy a platter from a 'Dave'
Aniki ( Dave ? ) has just sold his platter, I just thought it might have been to rchinn.
I thought it was more likely to be a private sale rather than shop sale that rchinn was referring to.
Mind you this is all just theory on my part, and can be confirmed or blown apart once I find out Aniki is actually called, Bert, Tam, Gertrude or Aniki and not Dave lol.

I kind of get what you're saying, but sorry, I don't know who rchinn is or what relevance he has to all this... Sorry, I haven't followed the 'story' like you obviously have, so need to learn it from the beginning, as it were.

In an attempt to get this thread back on topic can I just say that I managed to pick up a second hand Mike New Bearing from this forum and if anyone has any doubts about the difference it makes to the deck, then just buy one, you WILL NOT be disappointed.
I fitted my one in about 20 minutes, and that was only because I hadn't trimmed the solder stubs/tails low enough to avoid touching the bearing housing and had to remove the bearing and refit it. Oh and a few minutes wasted trying to work out why the bearing wasn't spinning. Fitting the platter solved that one lol.
I'm no technician, and if I can managed it then anyone can.
The bearing upgrade is highly recommend.

Hi, does anyone have images of how close the solder tags on the PCB need to be trimmed back for the MNB to be installed to work correctly ?
Thanks
Anthony
