[Phono-L] Home Standrd Roller bearing vs Oilite
Hello, Back in 1984 when I replaced the pot metal bearing on my standard only the roller bearing was available and I got rid of that machine over ten years ago. I have an Oilite on my triumph that I had nickel plated because I do not like the brass look. How do the oilite bearings compare with the roller bearings?

Generally a sleeve bearing is quieter but has a shorter service life and higher preventive maintenance requirements.

I have always felt that a properly sized sleeve bearing was much quieter than the needle type. Nickel plating the bronze bearing sounds like a good idea! I think they look more original than the brass hanging out the end.

[Phono-L] Stanton Auction Photos
Greetings, Christmas came early for many collectors who attended the Stanton's Fall Music Machine Auction in Michigan on November 17, 18 19. It was one of the longest phonograph auctions we ever attended. Joan had time to take photos of the auction. Enjoy. The auction was very well attended. Prices for rare items were high and overall the prices were stable considering the amount of items on the auction block. You can view the photos at: http://www.wimaps.org/ Auction prices for items can be seen at the Stanton Auction website at: http://www.stantons-auctions.com/ Enjoy and have a very Merry Christmas and Happy New Year 2012!
