Heineman Junior 6806 portable motor ?

Post by littlebluedog »

First time buyer here of what I thought was a Victrola powered portable player model 012 . But I find out it has a Heineman type JUNIOR 6806 phonograph motor, made by The General Industries Co. Elyria, Ohio. USA.
Their claim to fame is that they were the last of the original talking machine company that started Victrola phonographs. I could have this wrong.
I would like to remove the coil spring inside the drum and give it a clean and new lubricant. The rest is easy to access to oil. I removed the pinch clip and counter threaded screw on the pin centered in the drum. There is something still holding the assembly and I don't see it.
Any advice appreciated.

I think you've been misinformed about that.

We can't see it either. ;) Can you post some pictures please.

Not for now. Stuck it back together and going to see if it can play a full 78 disk.

Don't expect an answer later...
