2. Place the platter on the center spindle and press it down firmly. Rotate the platter until the brass motor spindle is visible through one of the holes. Check to make sure that it rotates uniformly and does not wobble excessively.
3. Pass your fingers through the hole, grip the rubber drive belt and install it over the motor spindle. Be careful not to twist the rubber drive belt during this step. Check to make sure the platter rotates uniformly. If the drive belt is properly installed, there should be a slight amount of tension that brings the platter to a stop after spinning it freely.
