How much play is normal in a spindle of a Garrard 401 with the platter removed?
I just got my hands on a Garrard 401...I don't notice any play with the platter in place but there is noticeable horizontal and vertical play in the spindle with the platter removed...is this normal for a good bearing?
My other experience is a grease bearing Garrard 301 that has zero play with the platter removed or the platter on it...I know the oil bearing design for the 401 is different but I don't know how much different?
Any help would be appreciated! Chuck
