I hope keeping the original parts for any new owners would be part of the process. That has not always been the case for machines I've purchased from others. Doing what you want to a machine you own is understandable. They are our own personal property. "Since you were asking questions." Buying every machines that comes on the market and performing ones personal restoration practices every machine that is kind of disturbing. I guess there will be some original machines out there. I would rather tolerate a little wobble, after all it is over 90 years old. BTW, If to maintain momentum is the goal, which makes perfect sense, it is not the total weight but the weight distribution. I know we all have our opinions and I felt it was time to share mine. 58
I absolutely agree with Jeff!!! I have had several that I have plugged and re-drilled to flatten the spin. It is easy to do and does not compromise the platter, machine or performance.
