What happened?

I just purchased new a VPI Classic 3. Upon opening the box and removing the platter the aluminum thin disc that sits in the inset on the bottom fell off. I could either leave it off because I'm not are what function is serves or glue it back. Thoughts?

I called VPI and the plate's primary purpose is extra dampening. Mike wasn't there but they offered to replace the platter, or I could leave it off or put on a couple dabs of construction glue and put it back. I'm going to leave it off for now.

I would only take the suggestions of Mike or Harry.

I would not mess with it. What happens when you want to sell it in the future? Send it back for an original factory replacement. That's the only think I would consider.
