DVD/CD platter widget
Bit of plastic ring with 3 internal springs and wedges that grips the disc
but comes off the metal spindle with the CD. Other than dot of superglue and capilliary flow into the join , any recognised way of refixing? Reminds me of those ex-juke box 45rpm singles with adaptor for home use |

Reminds me of those ex-juke box 45rpm singles with adaptor for home use I always just put a tiny drop of superglue on the top of the shaft, and then press the turntable back on, having first determined what the correct height setting is, as the turntable tends to grip to the shaft very quickly ... Don't overdo it on the glue though, as you don't want to press any down the shaft and into the top bearing :-\ Arfa |

As occuring in a laptop drive, the bearing would be only just below the platter. |

You can, yes, but the stuff I use comes on a card of like 12 tubes from the local supermarket, and costs a coupla quid ($3). It works better than all of the named brands, and is reasonably gloopy, whilst still being a good liquid - if you see what I mean ... To be honest, to be on the safe side, whenever I am glueing anything close to a moving part such as a motor bearing, I tend to put a small amount of oil or grease as appropriate into it. Then, if any superglue does find its way by migration or spillage, it doesn't actually stick to what it shouldn't. Arfa |

Ended up with drop of superglue and capilliary and kept the platter spinning
for an hour with a small motor and O ring over plastic drive pulley. Didn't like the idea of playing CD for that time as not sure what vapours would come off in an enclosed space |
