Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!

Wondering what this group makes of my 1200GR wobble. The height and roundness of the top of my platter seems mostly ok, but the machining of the strobe area is a mess.

If Technics had any stock these days I would pursue an exchange for sure, but they don’t, and I’m not sure I can even get a replacement platter. It took me two months to get this table and it was like pulling teeth. It’s either keep it or probably kiss the 1200GR goodbye for another 2-4 months. 

Any feedback or perspectives appreciated! Thanks.

That's not normal. I'd requested an exchange/return. Rather than live with defective turntable (and being pissed off every time while  putting record on the platter) I'd wait for 2 months.

I have heard about this issue from three different people now that backed up their claims with video. It must be an issue.

I was lucky. Mine was flawless and sounds amazing. But damn, would be flaming mad if they made me wait for a fix.

That dude at Cruchfield is full of it. Return it. I’ve had 5 or 6 1200s, never had this problem. Even after dragging them to gigs repeatedly for 20+ years. Get your money back.

Chakster, Rega and pro-ject are not junk! I really wish you would stop! Just because you seemingly favor a direct drive, in particular "technics" (which by the way was developed for dj- ing) does not mean a belt drive is junk. You seem hell bent at every turn to call them junk. Some of the highest priced turntable in the world are of a belt driven design, not direct drive. Pro-ject in particular produces turntables any where from 299 to well over 6, 7, or 8 grand! All belt driven....my pro-ject the classic sb with hana el will give your technics a good run for the money. So would my mmf-7.3 music hall. I’ve owned direct drives in the 80’s. One was a denon dp37f, little brother to the dp47f, as well as an older direct drive technics. Neither were as good as what I currently own. Heck, even my fully automatic Thorens td-240-2 belt drive with floating sub chassis and beautiful walnut wood bass is better than any dj looking technics. It is just as heavy, with better isolation, better tonearm,  and better looking.
