Are the TNT6,Scout etc platters same diameter as 5

The platter of the TNT5 is 11.5" in diameter and the newer platters with an indentation is slightly larger to accomodate the ring. Slicing a portion of your platter will make it worse what you need to do if you can is to fabricate an extension like the Clearaudio LOCATOR but it is expensive to fabricate. You would be better off buying the new platter. FYI, the LOCATOR won't fit into VPI platters. Clearaudio platters are 295mm

Thanks Yagbol.It's just that $2K for A PLATTER is a tough swallow.
Thanks

The platter/bearing for the TNT is $ 1,200. you can go to your dealer and ask for some kind of discount then you can sell your old platter/bearing. This way it won't hurt so much but the satisfaction is worth all that!!!!!! IMHO
