The bearing on this thing is phenomenal.
He's not one for gentle handling is he?
I thought he was a bit forceful putting the platter back on, but it was a strong looking bearing.
Agreed. The thing that made me cringe the most was how cack-handed he was with the after-market glass top-platter, he dropped it at least twice on the hammerite paint ‘lip’ and I’d not be at all surprised if he didn’t chip the paint
One thing many folk don’t realise is the chassis assembly is actually painted bakelite, it is not cast alloy as one might assume. You certainly don’t want to drop one! The sunken three-leg area supporting the main-bearing apparently being a potential failure point if any idiot attempts to ship one with the huge sub-platter attached!
