Thanks for your replys. I am as you suspect cleaning with the record spinning, and it does make complete sense to me now that I am causing the motor to overwork and produce more heat. I think you have given me a solution to look into. It never occured to me to scrub with the platter stopped. Markd51, I was one of those that had 4 wands and recently reduced it to two as it was just to time consuming and confusing as to what step I was on. The motor mounts is something I will look at, good advice, thanks. I do use the MoFi brushes and like them better than Walkers. Sbank, I tried the Vortex and was not pleased after 2 phone calls to Lloyd on set up and a concern about scraping along the vinyl, I gave up and got a refund. I think it wan't well received since it is no longer offered. You must have set yours just right to get good results, I think it made great sense in it's design. But executing it in the field must have been too difficult as the dealer I returned mine to, said he had most of them come back. Thanks to all I think you have me going in the right direction on solving the heat issue and the wobble.
I had also thought of a cooling fan, but maybe these suggestions will avoid me doing that.
