Since I don't want to replace the buttons, I replaced the "stock bearing" with a 608 full-ceramic bearing. the spin time is around 3 mins and full-ceramic bearing is suppoed to be noisy, isn't it?
the polished brass body got "tainted" pretty fast, I should have picked the black one :( I wonder how/where I can get a black body for cheap :/
or... maybe I will try to re-polish the brass body myself.

TomKazanskySo far, I've just been repolishing mine every few days. But I do have a buffing wheel in my basement. But I'm really liking the stonewashed look that someone posted a pic of here somewhere. Looks amazing, if only I can get past my polish fetish. 😬😁.
The thing I dread is having to level and re-anchor the bearing when needed. With any other spinner body that I have in this price range (actually all of them down to my cheapest), this task is a ten second job. But with this floating bearing housing that can be pushed, tilted, and/or canted on any axis.....then moved again with each minor movement of each of the grub screws......aaaaarrrrgggggg. Every bump, nudge, or purposeful change, brings an all new nightmare of imbalance.

BflyingYou could use pointed or cupped set screws to mark the bearing and then dimple its surface at those locations so there's a reference depth "notch" for the normal set screws to seat in, eliminating some of the guesswork. The material strength differences and machining tolerances are enough such that over-torquing the set screws easily sends one or more parts out of alignment. Just an idea.
