Removing Turntable Platter on Victor V-I
Posted: Sat Mar 03, 2018 12:40 pm
Hi all,
I am trying to revive a Victor V-1 Victrola, and I am literally stuck at removing the turntable platter. I have read in a couple of places online to support the platter with wood wedged between the board and the platter, then cover the head of the spindle with a piece of wood and tap with a hammer. I have done this and have tried various lubricants, but it doesn't show any signs of movement. Any tips? The things I've read online related to this have never referenced the V-1 specifically, and I also want to make sure these platters should just lift off the spindle and aren't threaded or otherwise attached in a way I don't know about. Any help would be very much appreciated.
Thanks,
TK
