I don't own a Well Tempered, but I am familiar with the design: it is not a "normal" bearing, having just four contact points two below, two higher up (and I guess one at the bottom) and so tipping over when not pulled by the belt into position. Don't worry, this is normal, and partially accounts for the sound quality.
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?
