The platter diameter is 300mm and the height is 24 mm; however, it was not a solid piece of aluminum as it was cast with the underside hollowed out. I believe the weight was around 1.5kg but was never published. A solid piece would be too heavy at about 4.6kg. This would require you to remove about 16.mm of material except for a 1-2mm outside edge. For this motor design it’s essential for the platter to be light weight as the servo system with its ~200mm rotor would be impaired by the higher inertia of a typical direct drive platter. You would also need to stencil the black ribs. The black rotor that supported the turntable platter was part of the motor. Do you have that?
Platters also come up for sale quite frequently in various marketplaces, ranging from USD $50 to $100. In the mean time, you might consider milling two solid discs with a diameter of 10cm each. Place a layer of rubber on the bottom one for a bit of grip. Place the bottom disc on the spindle with the rubber facing up, next the record, last the top disc as a weight to hold the record in place and level to the bottom disc surface. You might need to make the top disc a bit heavier to provide additional stability. I haven't tried this myself, but I feel like it would work fine, provided it is balanced properly, and can compensate for the 1.5g of downward pressure provided by the tone arm.
Can any owner of this exact model measure the exact thickness and diameter?
