Just had another thought or two! It might be worth checking the bushing of your idler wheel (check for flat spots as well), and stripping and refurbing your motor. Both excercises are useful in stopping vibration getting into the platter.
PS I think you've been really smart with the choice of materials for your platter

Bit of cosmetics time. Masking, filling, sanding, filling, sanding, filling, sanding etc etc! Found some Halfords aerosol cream enamel paint I'll be spraying with...

You'd be surprised with the finish you can get from Halfords products. I've done a few Lenco resprays in my time and had excellent results. Keep up the good work.

Well, it has been a shockingly long time since I posted, and I have very 'slowly slowly catchy monkey' been playing with my project.
It's really coming along a treat now!

It's coming along nicely - well done! However you will have to give the deck a different name: the "Zero" referred to the design of the bi-limboid pickup arm designed to reduce the tracking error to zero - but I'm sure you already knew that.
Are there any plans for finishing off the sides of the plinth?
