I recently upgraded my Linn Sondek to the Cirkus bearing assembly, so I am offering my original pre-Cirkus parts for sale to whomever can use them to upgrade an LP12 with an older stamped or welded sub-chassis and replace a worn or damaged main bearing. All outer platters are compatible with these parts. You will have to provide the correct oil.I am selling as a lot: the pre-Cirkus subplatter and bearing (with 3 mounting capscrews); bonded subchassis; and laminated Linn tonearm mounting board (with the additional hole for an Ittock armrest post). The 3 arm board mounting screws are included, along with 3 Linn tonearm-mounting capscrews (no external tooth lock washers, but they are easy to find). The bearing is free of wear or damage, and spins smoothly. I rated these parts as 'Very Good' mainly because of their age, but I was listening to LPs on my LP12 until the day before I installed the Cirkus parts. The photos should accurately depict their condition. I am not well-versed in historic part variations like some Linnies are, but the photos will likely answer most questions you might have. Shipping to the USA (from Canada) is included in my U.S. dollar asking price. These are precision parts that must be properly-packed, and I won't risk shipping damage by tossing them into a box. I am unable to accept PayPal unless funds are sent as a gift. During this pandemic, packages could take much longer to arrive (even within Canada), and I can't risk chargebacks if packages don't arrive in the expected time-frame. A Pink USPS International Money Order is preferred (NOT a Green Domestic Money Order). Feel free to check my feedback on Canuck Audio Mart (same I.D.) if you have any concerns.
