Bob brings up some very good points.
Back in '97, when I purchased my HW-19Jr, the 6lb frosted acrylic Platter was like yours, the Bearing-Spindle was a press fit, and I never felt inclined to somehow seperate it, for fear of knocking the surface runout of the platter out of whack, and then have a possible wobbly platter.
Lubrication maintainence was no more difficult in this scenario. Mark
