If whatever is supposed to be between the motor and the board deteriorated, the nuts holding motor to board could have been tightened to keep the motor from moving around. The turntable would end up higher off the top of the board if that were the case and possibly the brake would barely hit it.

I don't think anything is missing, but I guess it is possible. The turntable fits correctly and is all intact on top.
