well I did a little experimenting & found a cure for the
static on my table. I have a ground wire from the teres
spindle assembly to the wall receptacle ground, But was still
getting static (lots of it)..... I figured that because the platter is made of natural wood that It is non conducting,
& not allowing the static to transfer from vinyl to grounded
spindle.
what I did.....
I simple placed a strip of copper ribbon about 3" long on
top of the spindle flange allowing the ribbon to lay across
the wood platter. I then pushed a rubber washer about
1/16" thick on the spindle to concentrate pressure onto the copper ribbon. (the center hole on the rubber washer is a tight fit on the spindle so it stays put)...
the result....
No more static! Now that the static has a pathway to ground
it stays off the vinyl. I'll bet this would work on acrylic
platters the same.
