Re: Yeah, it should roll

I'm not familiar with the ball at the end of the TD-125 spindle, but I'm curious as to why it needs to roll. The reason I ask this is because the ball in my turntable spindle does not roll. It is there just to provide a rounded contact surface with the thrust plate.

I used to own a TD-126 and it didn't have a ball, I don't believe. The spindle shaft was rounded on the bottom and I guess it simply road against the thrust plate, but I never looked into the bearing well to see if there was a ball down there.

Anyway, I'm just curious. I'm not suggesting the ball shouldn't roll; I'm just asking why it should roll if it is simply the contact ball for the thrust plate.

Thanks,
John Elison
