Yeah, when I saw videos of it playing, the platter was really wobbly. Looked to be an absolute disaster of a design.
This can be the problem when "entrepreneurs" fall in love with their own ideas and nothing, not even a solid understanding of you know, engineering and physics, can get them off of it. Imagine the amount of money that went into this project both from a design, development, and then transfer to Ops (aka Manufacturing) that all went down the toilet.
I wonder if they did any Capability Analysis before committing the prototype to Ops. This is exactly what Six Sigma is for... 
Physics doesn't care about your...feelings.
