Default Pro-ject 1.2 turntable has ground to a halt

You are guesing that it is a die cast platter? Pro Ject
does use MDF for it's platters on a few of their cheapest
models. Could the Pro Ject 1.2 be using MDF?

MDF is well known to slump in high humidity. It is heavy enough that it
could be an effective turntable platter if used in the right quantities.
