This is actually the second sub-platter/spindle assembly that has the exact same issue (the company was very responsive to send me a second one). Also, the second assembly was measured closely by the manufacturer to ensure that it was up to spec. I'm thinking that the problem lies elsewhere - perhaps the hole for the bearing is not drilled exactly straight or the bearing itself is a problem.
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
