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

Wow!!!

"The crutchfield resident tt expert I talked to said this amount of wobble is "normal" with these tables. Which means if I exchange it, there is no guarantee of receiving a table with no visible wobble. Or if I send it to the factory, they will send it back saying this is within normal tolerances. He said most do not complain."

Technics really needs to know about this "response" from "their" dealer.

Based upon that response I would not touch any of their current decks with a 10 foot arm.

I have had this table for a few months now with no issues. That definitely isn't right.

Just unacceptable. What happened to quality control. Get rid of tt and buy a vpi. 

Like I said poor quality control. It is difficult with a thin aluminum casting to keep it flat. When it is machined it heats up expands then cools contracts and deforms. I guess some people are lucky and get a flat one.

+ 1 @dekay,

Sounds like a lazy customer support person, complete made up BS. Not only should you go as high as you can in the crutchfield command/customer support structure, I think you should document and carbon copy everything to Technics AND Panasonic as well.

Every company worth its salt has a good complaint  department. Sounds as if crutchfield just wants you to go away...

I just can't believe in 21' that in the metal lathe platter cutting department, Japanese cutting specs/tolerances to be so far off with digital/microscopic technology?
