All I know at this point is that it's not the platter, since the sound
still occurs when I turn the spindle with the platter removed. I'll
open the casing tonight and see what I can find.

remember to remove the pickup cartridge and tape down the arm before
turning the deck over!! New styli don't come cheap.
put on a soft cloth or cushion if working with it upside down.
