Plinko,
I'm assuming the bearing drain rod came from the DIY crowd and is something Albert adopted for his own design.
But then again this could very well be his own work.
I can only guess at the lengths Albert went to before his decision on selling his beloved Walker Black Diamond for a re-furbished and re-plinth Technics MKII.
This bearing drain rod makes perfect sense, I'd definitely incorporate in your design.
Once your plinth is completed this is something you could have first hand knowledge of by removing the rod and listen for yourself.
