DIY Question: Well Tempered Bearing Cup Upgrade

I purchased a Well Tempered Classic this summer, which despite all the hassles in getting it to run well, has reignited my passion for music, especially analog music.
After getting fed up with the Classic I purchased a Clearaudio Concept in order to have a deck that was more reliable. I really like the design features that Clearaudio uses, and the sound is very good.

I still have the Classic and am wondering if I could put a Clearaudio bearing/spindle/platter on the Well Tempered plinth? I like the Clearaudio design better than the Well Tempered so I'd like to combine them to get the best of both worlds, since the Classic does a better job at isolating noise/vibration. Any experts here who would tell me where to start, or not? Thx

What wasn't "reliable" about your well tempered? Don't see any way you can combine the two. If you like the clearaudio better, then I would suggest you sell the well tempered and get an isolation base like a Townshend seismic sink or Ginko.
My best suggestion would be to get the Well Tempered operating properly as I believe it is the superior table.
