If bought from a reputable dealer then it will be covered by Rega - you should not have that much play. I have owned 3 Rega tables in the past (P5, P7, & P9) and none of them had a bearing play issue.
Rega RB2000 - Bearing Play
Bought an RP10 (used, but from a dealer). The arm has substantial side-to-side bearing play (a good 1/8" in either direction) and a bit of up-down play we well. I've used & had numerous Rega arms and have never seen this before. I found some threads elsewhere suggesting this is a manufacturing defect. (Since these arms are hand-made, how would this escape QA?)
Anyone have any experience with such an issue, and getting it resolved?
