I'm shocked! I have three old SL1200/1210 II's: one I bought new 7 years ago; 2 I bought off eBay - actually bought 3 and made 2 good ones. All are now well-used and absolutely no wobble. Not overly keen? They need a swift kick up the !

On the old ones the 'stub axle' type bearing is held in by 3 screws. See "A" on image at https://i.pinimg.com/originals/92/fb/de/92fbdea8b17edf7de4ea69752e063d62.gif reproduced here: Wonder if these were not tightened in assembly?

Is there some crud on the spindle? Is there any burring in the aperture where the spindle goes through the platter?

Dear Graham and Chris
thanks for the tips. Had the platter off today to check for burrs or crud - nicely clean there. Technics customer services continue to send me 'troubleshooting' advice via email, such as (quote) "Please check tiny dust particles are not caught in between" they don't say in between what precisely, or how tiny. When I paid £2500 for the turntable I didn't realise I'd need an electron microscope and to operate the 'table only under sterile lab conditions. Since its less than 6-months old and I sensibly bought it with my credit card, perhaps I'll take things up with the card issuer. I realise this may be a 1/1000 unit issue, but shame on Technics. [Accession and ULDE still immaculately soldier on!]

If you were buying a £100 deck this wouldn’t be acceptable and I would be inclined to ask for replacement or if not full refund (sale of good act) or try trading standards for advice. Sounds like you have a Friday afternoon Lemon? As you say it may be a 1/1000 which is why you should get a replacement not asked to mend it yourself
