My intention was to put the hub on a spare
spindle .. put the platter
on, turn it round by hand and use a lever-type dial gauge to get
minimum run-out.
One of the people I buy PDP-11 parts from reports that he actually did this
(using the exact procedure you describe) BITD. Apparently there's some
multi-platter pack that has the same exact platter as the RK05 (2315) pack,
and he had some damaged RK05 packs, and moved platters from the bad
multi-platter pack to the RK05's.
At least by visual appearance, the RP03, IBM 1311/2311, and IBM 2314 all seem to have
RK05-like platters.
