It seems that all of much used Micro RX or SX TT's have the same problem, is that right? It will be nice if more of other owners of RX or SX TT's share their observations and experience regarding this problem... attached is one more video of other RX5000 for sale and it looks even worse, the need of medicine for sea sickness is infallible

Wonderworld, you have opened a whole new word to me. I never saw a TT that does such a thing. The bearing can’t wobble so much. The bearing is a cylinder of 4-5 inch, it certainly cannot wobble. If it is air suspension then wobble is 12” sheet of glass – it can’t wobble like this. The only think that I would propose is that the platter might not be Micro made platter but was made at some kind of bogus sweatshop where they made variable platter high, making platter imbalanced. I very much doubt that somebody would make the platters so badly. I do stay with proposal that it is optical illusion some kind.

To comfort yourself your need to take one of the test records that has a continuing pitch, let say 440Ha. Some of them do have it. Play it on that wobbling TT and hear if the pitch will fluctuate. Alternately you can put 4 identical small mirrors on the platter. Reflect a fixed laser pointer to a wall from one of the mirror. Mark the reflection spot on the opposite wall. Then rotate the platter: the other 3 mirrors shall mark the very same spot on the wall.
