N00b here looking for repair recos. Father in law gave us this unit and the platter has a subtle wobble to it. It appears to be the due to slight warping/bending in the disc/plate rather than any sort of bend in the base piece/shaft. Pics for reference.

Any chance there is an effective way to repair?

Any tips/resources would be appreciated. ?
