No. 

I think you are being a bit optimistic on that one...

Okay.  Lol!

I had this same problem last week after our heat wave. Glad to have found the solution here.

Is there a good reason the spindle is not fixed to the platter?

  This does not sound good to me!

"Vortrex" Derek-

There aren't too many variables, here. Your bearing should be fine. Most likely you (unfortunately) have the 'table sitting where it can receive direct sunlight. The black platter has become hot enough that the bond between it and the spindle has weakened a bit (altered clearance).. causing the platter to slide slightly down the spindle. Heat it up again, slide the platter back a few mm and keep the 'table away from direct heat sources. This is a good general rule for any home electronics.

Anyone with a technical question would be wise to contact me first rather than starting a thread. I've probably set up more of these 'tables than anyone at this point.. have taken a couple completely apart and have Firebaugh's home number in my cell phone. I don't know everything, but can sort out most anything in a timely manner.

Hi, Mike.  Good to have you aboard.
