Nova bigscreen cabs have  similar frames for rotating the monitor

I have a frame like that that I got with a monitor. I am not sure it is complete though.

The lasy Susan is a real bearing though, so it probably moves a lot smoother.

I found a 600 mm bearing on eBay UK, cheaper than the one in the US. It only has three holes in the center ring though: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140851702775?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649#ht_1464wt_922

I'm sure there must be German sources too but have no idea what to look for in German language.

I found these rings for sale in Holland too, but not at 600mm. (smaller and larger).

Never heard of "Lazy Susan" :D

But I found a rotating table with that name in german eBay. Unfortunately there's no picture of the bearing.
