Step1:

I think this is one of the spoiling factors regards the looks of these decks - I appreciate there wasn't really much of an alternative to maintain the tight dimensions (I actually think they could have just about done it by moving the bearing forward though, but I bet either looks or cost was the major factor). They look so much nicer flush!

I like the BG 5000 platter design, the platter looks level, with border fazed of to deck level, and agree with Step, a bigger platter and different edge design would improve the look

If it wasn't, a 12 inch record would scrape on the deck surface and you could hardly grab its edges and lift it off.

With pick up arm to center, the platter should be 2.5 to 3.0 Mm over top plate (deck surface)

for the modern beograms (eg, beogram 7000, 6500, 4500 etc)

is the platter supposed to be flush with the deck surface or a bit raised? i've seen pics of both examples. for my 2 cents, it would seem to make sense that it would be raised--
