ANY WOBBLE AT ALL is unacceptable. Refund or replacement. You should not even be responsible for shipping either way. I would tell the manufacturer that a new complete table is necessary rather than requiring you to identify their defect.
Platter wobble - too much?
Hi everyone,
Just working on getting my new turntable dialed in, and the platter seems to wobble far more than my previous table. I noticed the wobble with the naked eye from across the room. I've already tried a new sub-platter to see if the first one perhaps had a bent spindle or machining defect. I only have one other table to compare it to, so I don't know if this type of variation from flat is normal. Here are a few videos:

Does this seem like a reasonable tolerance, or am I going to do some damage to the cart/bearing/records? I appreciate any thoughts y'all might have.
Best, Scott
