Speaking of putting weight on platters. I was among ten cars last night at a local drive-in so we toured the booth. I wondered why the platter they'd bought last year wasn't hooked up yet. Oh, he says, we hooked it up and it wouldn't turn and then caused an electrical fire. No sh**, all last year, it collected more and more old sound amps, cleaners, speakers etc. Then again, they also added a huge, brightly lit Coke machine facing the screen. ARRRG

Scott, AW3 (and AW3R) decks usually wobble because the center of the deck (that slides onto the axle) has become separated from the rest of the deck. I have repaired several AW3's with this problem. There is a reinforcement kit available that can remedy this situation. It's easy to install and costs a lot less than a new deck (email me for info). You should look at how bad the wobble is. If the deck can ride up over the drive wheel, then it's probably time to do something about it. Now, one caveat to this: There was a reinforcement kit that was used years ago that replaced the whole center part of the deck. This kit is not compatible with the newer type I have seen. However, with this older type, you may be able to "re-glue" it to the deck. Regards, Trevor
