Platter wobble

I have a Technics SL-BD20D and the platter has a noticeable wobble while spinning. ive tried a couple mats - cork and acrylic - which made the wobble much more apparent.  The rigid acrylic platter would not lay flat on the platter. 

Anything I can do? Is there a way to test what the issue is?  Is there an quality aftermarket platter that I can use?

Thanks!

The way I figure it since many LPs are not flat it will all average out.

Or if MDF isn't good enough you could upgrade to IKEA bamboo

Note this whole turntable cost less than the Technics.
