It's the Gen 3 sapphire bearing. It was the only one Jim made with the polymer sleeve you see in the picture, AFAIK. He said to use the synthetic oil he supplied with the bearing.I have (or had) the same bearing. While it sounded marvelous, I had a huge issue with static. There is no path to ground as the spindle bearing is plastic and the thrust pad is sapphire. It was so bad in the winter months, that the static discharge would change the speed to 45 rpm on my SL-1200. Jim, rest his soul, swapped out the polymer sleeve for a bronze bearing at no charge.
So, I guess I have a Gen 2.5, now.
