I'd swap out the turntable before I condemned the spindle. Shafts can be straightened but I would think it would be easier to install a replacement unless it is a very rare machine with an unusual motor. Ron L -Original Message- From: phono-l-boun...@oldcrank.org

Bent spindle? Is the motor and motor board plumb? How tight is the turntable on the spindle? Bent spindles are pretty rare. Who makes the machine? Is it so uneven the turntable is hitting the case causing the drag you speak of? Oldcranky Mike On Sat, Dec 11, 2010 at 6:32 AM, Ron L'Herault
