[Jukebox-list] Wow and Flutter Sound in Seeburg G

[Wesley Dean]

    Don, the only reason I could think of was the material the gear was made 
of was unstable as opposed to phenolic. This problem was more noticeable 
with offset red head needles.  When replacing the gear, I had also change 
the worm. This problem caused only flutter, no wow. Wow is caused by an 
unstable turntable speed. Flutter is caused by vibrations at specific 
passages of the tune. Wes

Wes,
You have me curious.
Why would a "white" main gear cause this problem....?
