Well tempered platter problem?

I just noticed tonight that when I examine the platter of my turntable, a well tempered classic, that if I press down on the edge of the platter, that I can rock it back and forth substantially. I am not refering to the "slack" in the bearing that will be there pressing away from the bearing surfaces. I am thinking that the platter is not fitting onto the spindle tightly, leaving some movement.

Has anyone experienced this yet? Is this normal?

I own a WTRP. I had this same problem. It is not really a problem. Your have to make sure there is enough Sylicon Fluid inside The main Bearing Thrust because tha't's the clue to the Stability of the platter as this TT is bearingless as you know. Because of the way this TT is built, there is no way it can have any mechanical problem. The Solution is the Fluid !.

Also is very important to check the TT level.
