This one shows some odd peaks. Could it be the tonearm/bearings?

You ain't seen nothin' yet. Did you read the spec?

This is the initial waveform navigator:


Along with zoom and pan, it'll have a selection window so you can choose a slice of the file to re-measure. It'll operate similarly to my browser DBT testing loop selector:

And from the spectrum plot you'll be able to select harmonics to overlay on the primary waveform similar to:

As an idiot does this mean one can correct for rotational variations throughout a piece of music?
 
Have this 0.47-0.5 Hz and 0.98-1.0 Hz peaks which are different from the rotational 0.55 and 1.11 peaks With both test records. Bearing issue?
Could be. The polar has a weird very low f artifact too.
 
It works for me too!!

May I suggest an option to plot the FFT to 200hz, as that can show effects om transformer vibration and so on

Does that bleed through on the shankspin sensor? FM from the arm? It's to fast to actually being affecting platter rotation.

What's the method on the last two? Those are very noisy.
 
I see it on my Denon 51F on 3150hz wav file... became lower when I put som sorbothane on the (hanging) transformer touching the internals, see also cogging at 66.67 hz on my fisher 6330 caused by 120 poles

Was thinking whether it is belt issue/belt creep. Since it should be slightly off and lower than the rotational speed.
 
Can't help you there - I've zero experience measuring belt drives.
Most likely belt creep + belt inconstency once per belt revolution. Better or cleaner belt needed.

I'm not questioning that they bleed through, I'm questioning it it's an actual angular change or just the cart picking up vibration. Look at your FFT - all of the rotational harmonics fall off by 30Hz.
