Right. Some of you will recall I acquired a Systemdek TT a little while ago. This came fitted with an acrylic platter with only nominal clearance on the centre post.
After this has gnawed away at me for some time now, I have decided that I needed to obtain a glass platter to A/B on my 'dek. And to see what difference more central clearance might make. The other thing is, I have never quite adjusted to the idea of no mat, particularly as I don't switch off to change vinyl
Having given up on finding one of these (particularly after I forgot the end time of an auction for an entire Systemdek IIX which went for about £20
) I decided to speculate - net result is I now have a Rega glass platter purchased cheaply on fleabay.
Now for the not quite so good news
. The centre hole is way too big
:wall:
:wall:
Spindle diameter (rough measurement) 8mm
Platter hole (rough measure again) 19mm
Now, I could be psychotic and try to play as is
[Visions of Dementia perhaps]
Alternatively and more sensibly, I could try to 'pack' the hole to size. I thought of some sort of rubber/ PVC grommet fitted into the hole (although no idea whether this is anywhere near a "regular" size to allow this.
So, I throw myself at your mercy..........ANY suggestions (vaguely sensible would help of course). The flip side is I don't really want to spend tooo much as this is more by way of an experiment than anything else
Thanks folks
