Good advice from all the above. If you do end up cleaning and polishing the bearing shaft and/or spindle as Johnnantais described, go VERY lightly and use the finest polishing compound you can find. It would be easy to overdue it, and your suggestion of sandpaper makes me worry you may not realize that. Just a word of caution...
How to reduce the friction in the bearing
I have an Oracle Delphi Mark II turntable. Brand new. Just setting it up. The bearing is too tight. Ran the platter for a couple of days using a stronger motor to wear it in. Worked to some extent, but not enough.
Should I let the turntable run for say a couple of hundred hours to burn in?
Anything else I can do. I have not tried sandpaper, it seems a little on the desperate side.
Appreciate your help.
