I don't mean to highjack the thread, but since this is being discussed, may I ask what spring is used in the tonearm for pressure?. Mine has none, and I can't see where it would go.
How does one get the turntable off the spindle, mine has a H**l of a rumbling noise to it, and I can't seem to get it off.
Despite this, is does play records..... Icon_mrgreen

Thank you

I don't think it uses a spring. Mine only has an adjustable counter weight at the back of the tone arm.
I also think my turntable just pulled off (without any type of fastener holding it in place) It may be corroded and
needs a little persuasion?
