I think Monte's ideas are good, but I would like to add one comment... The PRT Ultra table was designed to accomodate a 'one hour reel.' The exact weight of a 'one hour reel' varies, but is probably about 25-30 pounds. A Goldberg platter reel can hold more than 2 hours of film. With trailers, ads, and all the other 'important consumer messages', you could have upwards of 70 pounds on that platter reel. Or, to put it another way....
You could place more than double the intended load on the spindles.
You can adjust the tilt of the spindles; make sure they are level. I would follow Monte's ideas, in the order he listed. Especially the last part!
