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?

Brad- Is there ANY point at which, when pressing on the outer part of the platter, it dos NOT rock? Please identify areas that rock and do not rock as "12 O'Clock" (nearest back edge of table), "3 O'Clock", etc.

The only spot it should rock (or fall away)is at about the 3 to 4 O'Clock position, as noted by Rlapporte.

Seems that maybe the bearing is 180 degrees out of alignment.

Please let us know.
