Question: turntable seems to wobble?

By maartenw - usenet poster

Hello,

I picked up an open-box Denon DP-26F from the Goodguys. I ordered a new
stylus and started playing away. I'm incredibly impressed with the sound,
have been really enjoying scrounging through record shops. The only problem
is that I notice the record seems to almost move up and down on the platter
at a certain point every revolution (with or without the tone arm down).
This doesn't seem to affect the sound, but I'm afraid it might cause undue
ware on my vinyl. Do I have a warped platter? (it doesn't seem warped).

Thanks for any advice.

if you get into an audiophile turntable
like rega and others vpi
you can get a record clamp to hold the record down tight
some are screw on so the spindle has to acommodate this
others are vacuum record clamps

It could be a couple of things. A warped platter, or tilted/off spindle.
Get a cheap carpenters level, and use that to check the platter. You can
use the frame visually to check for any uneveness in the platter, or the
bubble level for problems. If you put one end of the level against the
spindle, and the other off the side radially, and turn the platter, you
should be able to "level" it by using shims or paper on the turntable feet.
If you can't, somethings out of whack, and your stuck.

It sounds like your vinyl has a slight warp to it. Usually you can easily
find records that aren't perfectly falt, but don't worry. Unless it's
really bad (it doesn't dound like it is) you have nothing to worry about.
In fact plenty of records come out of the factories with a slight warp.
