DIY Bearing availability


I'm getting ready to start another TT project and not quite sure I want to machine one or have one made.

What is out there now? I didn't see bearings listed on the Teres site but will give Chris a call to see if he still sells them. Any other options?

Nice ready-made track for an idler wheel on the underside of that eBay offering, but it would have to be one powerful motor to move that sucker. Does look to be beautifully made.
If you want a fully developed dedicated turntable bearing complete with housing and mounting capability, try a search on Lenco Heaven. There are two guys, Mirko and Jeremy, that make very nice bearings suitable for use with platters other than the Lenco one. Moreover, I am sure either or both would custom make you a bearing suitable for much heavier platters, if that is your desire. I am the satisfied user of a Jeremy Superbearing in my Lenco.
