    Looks like a tubular bronze bearing with the plastic housing moulded around it. There's not a lot of 'meat' on the bronze, but with a lathe and a bit of care, it could be bored wide enough to accept turned down phosphor bronze bushes. A none too tight press fit is what I'd aim at, to avoid splitting the tube. Bearing locking adhesives can be used to secure bushes.

    However. Is there much slack with the bearing 'as is'? Using a thicker oil can tighten things up.
    It is impossible for anything digital to sound analogue, because it isn't analogue!

    its seems fine without the platter on,when you rock the platter you can see it moving very easily but then you have more leverage ,as they say a picture (video) says a thousand words!

    That's too much play. Are you sure it's not the entire motor base that is loose and moving?
