Rega tonearm vertical bearing?

[kenneth]

Does anyone knows if the Rega Planar 2 tonearm uses ballbearings in the vertical plane.

Thanks,

Kenneth

Yes it does,if it is the old S -type sample that was used by rega before the RB 250 and RB 300,types.which by the way use ball bearings both in vertical an the lateral planes.
You can take an idea by typing Jelco in your browser,and take a look
