Turntable advice

I have recently bought two Numark TT-100s. I didn't pay too much for them and I know they are not the best in the world. But while using them I have noticed a wobble on the platter. When I watch the needle it appears to move up and down as the record rotates. Any ideas what could cause this?

...could be warped records.

If not you could look into getting a turntable warrant of fitness. like for your car except for your turntable. maybe ask your local music store if they know someone who does this... like a mechanic but for turntables.

Or you could just take it apart and make sure everything is screwed in properly...

i noticed this too with my ttx's. I think its normal for the platter to wobble slightly. I went to guitar center and all of their tables on display do it too...even the technics.

a little wobble isnt bad. If ur records are warped id suggest finding replacements before ur needles start to skip
