Can anything be done to help that? Most records have some warp to it to some degree and I cannot play them like this.

I agree with Cougar that the problem is initiated by the warped record. The platter appears to be spinning with good stability. However, the arm/cartridge resonance is becoming excited by the record warps, which indicates the resonance frequency is too low. This can be resolved only by installing a different cartridge with lower compliance in order to raise the arm/cartridge resonance frequency. Silicone fluid tonearm damping would also help the situation.
I wonder if your 17D3's cantilever suspension is wearing out and becoming more compliant, which would lower the arm/cartridge resonance frequency. At any rate, the platter seems to be spinning smoothly while the warped LP is causing the tonearm to bounce and excite the arm/cartridge resonance. I have a feeling the cantilever suspension on your 17D3 might be wearing out and becoming more compliant.
Good luck,
John Elison
Some use record flatteners to reduce them. Not all warps are like that one in the video.
I'm just interested if it's happen with flat records too.
