Dose your Rega rp8 sagging issues

Hi everyone almost a year ago i bought the turntable of my dreams a rega rp8. I ended up pulling out some of my rsp so i could afford it. Once i brought it home i fell in love with it ever since. though over the past 6 months i noticed skeletal plinth started to sage to one side. I don't know is this alright to happen now my spindle bottom is starting to hit my rack shelf. Is this alright or should a guy complain back to the dealer about it? and has anyone had this happen to them?

Any such deformation would be completely unacceptable to me. Since it’s less than a year old, I’d take it back to the dealer. Is it the feet or the plinth structure that’s sagging?

Wait! Your rack shelf is touching the bottom of the spindle housing? Are you sure your shelf hasnt warped? What is this shelf made out of? Ive never heard of a REGA sagging?! If this is indeed happening I'm sure REGA would love to hear about it! Also, the retailer. Make sure its perfectly LEVEL and placed on a proper shelf (when I had a REGA I used Mapleshades 2" maple platform with cork and rubber Mapleshade feet) or even a piece of granite works really well for isolation.

I would be very concerned about a visible sag.  Is the platter still level with this condition?
