Apply new feets, check if transport screws are losened, if yes, adjust platter hight.

Reduce you pics to 640 bits horisontal length, to post, do like this.

Under the platter positioned where you see the 3 brass nuts on the pic you will find the transport scews, check if they are loosened and the platter mooves freely up and down, press the platter down with your finger. Check the platter hights, and if it mooves around free without noices.
