Rich my player motor "floats" as shown in the second photo. The spring's when I took mine apart were just as you mentioned, play removed and just tensioner a couple of turns. As far as being able to tell that 3 rpm difference, I probably wouldn't, unless it was an artist and song I really knew well. I doubt the average person could tell, but just try it and see what you think.
