Any Linn LP12 owners in So Cal get the Karousel bearing upgrade?

@daveyf 
For the record I'm not a car mechanic, and I was a Linn Dealer for a while - at their request - not mine.

@dover  So, what happened?

@daveyf
When they launched the Ekos, I had customers ready to go, and they refused to supply, expecting the customers to go to their distributor direct who also owned a retail outlet. Unfortunately for them my customers were so disgusted they moved away from Linn as well.
I stocked a range of top end TT's at the time.

@dover  What you just described tells me you were not an authorized Linn turntable dealer. Linn are very concerned ( rightly or wrongly) about protecting their Linn turntable specialists/stockists.. from their general Linn dealerships. 

@daveyf 
No, I was authorised, invested in Linn set up jigs, training, the whole nine yards. They also pulled the same stunt on some of the other authorised dealers, the distributor simply saw an opportunity to nab all the retail margins for themselves for a new product. Didn't affect me but one of the other authorised dealers had been selling Linn for over 20 years.
