Is the visible gap at the spindle hole or between the platter and hub? Further to my earlier suggestions, this would require a machine shop if you don’t have the tools, and it might be cheaper ultimately to buy a straight replacement platter from George Vollema. Regarding a cross pin in a substitute arbor/spindle, this would’t bend if it’s made of hard steel, like clock pivot wire, but again, this all may be too much work if you have replacement alternatives and would otherwise have to pay machine shop fees.
