Brand new Technics SL-1210GR platter wobble ... disappointed!


Got a brand new Technics SL-1210 GR. Tonearm bearing feels good, no other issues, but it has a wobbly platter. Not as bad as I have seen in Hanpins, but should a $1700 table made in Japan have this amount of wobble? My Project belt driven TT has no wobble that I can see with naked eye.


I have uploaded 3 videos on YT. Can you guys take a look and tell me if this is acceptable for a $1700 TT w/ no cart?

Debating whether I should accept this or return it. I do not want to send a brand new TT for service. FYI, I did reseat the platter at various angles to see if the wobble went away, but no such luck.

P.S. Apologies for a bit of camera shake, but I think it is clear to see the platter move up/down

Ask your dealer to replace your turbtable under warranty. Get another sample from them. 
Bad casting. Send it back ASAP. That is bad enough that if you play a test tone you will hear it wow.
So much for a quality product. The box would have to have significant visible damage for shipping to have done that. Just poor quality control.
