Dear All

I have done something monumentally stupid - I have somehow managed to lose a part of my turntable bearing on my Amazon Model One turntable - it has a 50mm deep platter with an inverted bearing using a ceramic ball on the top.

Amazon no longer make turntables - and i am certain he does not actually make the bearing.

Can you kindly help me please?

yours feeling PDS (pretty darn sheepish!)

You shouldnt worry. If you have lost the bearing there are many manufacturers of ceramic bearings (Boca , Redhill etc.) just get Si3N4 preferably grade 3. Grade 3 are considered the most precise (for the moment) that man can fabricate.
I would suggest to find the correct size through forums.

If you have lost the thrust pad just find out if it was tungsten, saphire, teflon or peek and I will assist you on locating a new
