that is funny

since the Well tempered spins in a cup of oil, there is not much you can do about lubrication. couple things.

Take of the belt (ok thread with the knot), put a piece of scotch tape on the platter, spin it a few times by hand starting from different spots giving it various initial spins and make sure that the platter stops at random spots. If it tends to stop at the same spot, you either have a bad grind on the spindle or bent spindle or something. The well tempered bearing uses two teflon V blocks and an offset thrust made of teflon. having the well filled above the upper v block with either silicon oil or Mobil 1 is important.

If that is all passed then get a record with a 3.15K track and use platterspeed. You should be within specs of the table, I do believe it is less than 0.02% wow and flutter. If you are not within spec then you either have a bad drive thread...make a new one, a bad motor controller or a bad motor.

good luck
