Greetings!
I picked up my first turntable yesterday in 35 years
Technics SL-1300
for $20 on Craigslist, seems OK except missing the aux counterweight and has no cartridge or headshell. I just ordered a headshell and Denon DL-110 for
130 combined so I hope am good to go shortly...
I am wondering how to remove the platter so as to add a couple drops of oil to the bearing? I downloaded the manual from another website, but nowhere can I find how to remove the platter to access the spindle bearing. I removed the mat, the platter will not lift off, I can see the ends, not heads, of three bolts screwed in from the underside. I removed the bottom cover to see what it looks like, no joy for platter release there (but the unit looks very clean!).
Looks like i am missing something very obvious ?
Thank you for any help in this...
