So Weird- No Stylus Contact Woofer Pumping with Hana ML and Elac PPA-2

The video already answers most of the questions and discards most of the solutions being discussed, please take a look before making a suggestion:

Static charge is the best explanation yet. I use an AQ Anti Static brush but it didn't do much if anything.

The Funk Firm mat is a plastic material.

@lewm , there may be a magnet in the control loop under the platter. Very common approach. One thing is for certain. It is either something on the platter or the oscillating motor. The oscillations are perfectly rhythmic at 33.3/minute. I seriously doubt the mat. Who puts magnetic material in record mats? If its the motor that would validate my feelings about DD motors.

@dadawada , No it is not static electricity. Static electricity would not produce a perfectly rhythmic motion. Static can also not cause induction because there is no current flow to create a magnetic field. Any path to ground would short it out.   

I would be inclined to take a small magnet and run it over the platter to see if there is some point of attraction within the platter itself.  Simple test to do.  Very odd problem indeed.
