for those of you with Kruzers, I'm putting ours back together, and the previous owner def. missed some steps in setting this up!

I'm getting some play in my arm carousel, and my head carousel. Is something not seating right? Should the center shaft and bearings be completely sealed? Right now i can see some silver in between the two aforementioned pieces.

This is my suspected issue

mine has that same 'gap' -- however if you were to take apart the 2 carousels ... there's actually a spacer ring in there between the 2.  That might be what you're seeing... the carousels shouldn't move and they should be parallel with each other. 

there is also supposed to be a 'split collar' under the carousel that holds the table arms

did you receive the M&R manual with the press?  You may want to take the top center bolt off, and take the carousels and bearings apart and start over following the instructions to make sure all the parts are in the correct places.

i just took it apart and re did it. I had a bearing cap an incorrect spot, which caused some movement. Still a little wobbly but i need to re-level it again anyway!
