I sent in a detailed response last nite, not sure what happened but in a nutshell, one significant possibility for your problem is a worn centering pin (teflon) on the bottom base plate of the air bearing. I had a similar problem that i corrected by replacing that pin. If the moderator does not release the my response, you can PM me and i will help you diagnose the table to see if that is the problem
Maplenoll platter stability question
Hello,
I have a question concerning the platter and moving from side-to-side as it turns. I just replaced the drive belt and have a new compressed air source and with the 63lb. platter there seems to be quite a bit of movement of the platter. Instead of the center spindle making a circle as it turns it is more of an oval shape. I've reduced the air flow to the platter to the smallest amount (which reduced the amount of movement)but it is still there. Is it possible that as the new belt stretches a bit there will be less pulling from the side with the motor?
Also, do owners work to level the turntable base or level the platter?
Thanks in advance!
