The Bearing:
The bearing shaft did not show evidence of wear (measured via micrometer).
The shaft was micro-polished with Crocus Cloth to restore the smoothest possible surface.
New Oilite bushings have been installed into the platter bearing housing. Bearing action is 'just right'.
The thrust bearing pad has been replaced with a Torlon 4301 thrust pad for longer wear.
The main bearing end cap has been replaced with a heavy Gun Metal Bronze cap.
A new, heavy, longer lasting gasket seal is installed.
