Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade?


I live in north San Diego county.
Any recommendations on where I can get my Linn LP12 serviced and upgraded with the Karousel bearing?  My LP12 is vintage 1977.  It has the Lingo (Mk II) and Trampolin upgrades, but is otherwise original, including the bearing.
thanks for your responses!!

When they launched the Ekos, I had customers ready to go, and they refused to supply, expecting the customers to go to their distributor direct who also owned a retail outlet. Unfortunately for them my customers were so disgusted they moved away from Linn as well.
I stocked a range of top end TT's at the time.

For the record I'm not a car mechanic, and I was a Linn Dealer for a while - at their request - not mine.

No, I was authorised, invested in Linn set up jigs, training, the whole nine yards. They also pulled the same stunt on some of the other authorised dealers, the distributor simply saw an opportunity to nab all the retail margins for themselves for a new product. Didn't affect me but one of the other authorised dealers had been selling Linn for over 20 years.
I learnt all I need to know about Linn when I restored my 1964 Fiat Bambina in the late seventies. Pulling the motor out to put a new gearbox in I must have undone many "locknuts".

Lo and behold, some years later, the Linn Doctor called in the early 80's - a new upgrade - LOCKNUTS under the springs to stop the suspension going out ! Only took Ivor 20 years to discover them.
