Apropos of the recent mention of how the reverse servo works to stop the platter of the TT101, when the "stop" button is engaged, I just noticed that when the platter mat is off the platter, the platter does exhibit a little counter-clockwise movement when stopped. WITH the platter mat in place, the platter comes to a dead stop when stopped. This fits exactly with what someone said above (Thekong, Harold, Halcro???), that there must be an adjustment to accommodate the precise weight/rotational mass of the platter + mat, to make the STOP button work exactly right. Thus I also suspect that if one were to use a mat that is heavier than Victor intended, the platter also would not stop exactly on a dime. This makes me worry/wonder whether the reverse servo would also need adjustment to make it work properly during LP play, in response to stylus drag, etc, with a heavier than OEM mat. I am going to stick with the OEM one for that reason, at least at first.
