Here’s a couple of posts on the topic, if they’re of use. First one suggests use of cocktail stick to minimise the amount of glue. They’re both relating to a different player, just in case that isn’t clear
Hi SamClaus,
You have a hairline radial crack in your platter (it’s at about 7 o’clock in your picture), that will be what has caused the manufacturer glue to fail.
You can apply some more glue yourself, it really does need to be a smidgen though. You don’t want it to run down into the motor bearing. Use a cocktail stick or similar to apply a small amount to the tip of the motor shaft & a smear down the shaft, but only 2 or 3mm down. Then refit the platter as concentrically as possible in orde…
Still no change on the 1202 story I’m afraid.
However, the symptoms described in this case are indicative of the glue that holds the platter to the motor spindle failing, sometimes coupled with a hairline radial crack through the platter. The slippage is more evident on track one, as it uses the highest RPM.
The platter can be glued back in place using a degree of care. We may have some platters knocking about if yours is cracked.
