Art Dudley has reviewed the "new" 301 (at an amazing $23.5K with 12" TA) as well as the new replacement bearing in a couple of articles since this thread was started. He is still loving his 301 and finds no need for a new bearing after using Phil Wood grease in his old one (I've used for many years in my bicycle bearings). I also get the impression that AD likes fiddling with his 301 almost as much as listening to it.
