So I’ve finally been able to remove the platter and remove the motor from the board.MarkELynch wrote: ↑Thu Feb 29, 2024 1:49 pm
Once you remove the tone arm assembly you will find that the potmetal bracket with the overhead pin supporting the tonearm is stuck in the sheet metal flange. It is swollen in place and breaking it out in pieces and installing a replacement is the path forward. Replacements are readily available.
Let us know how you make out.

The tonearm I have questions on. Any tips on how to take the tonearm out of its base to clean the bearings?? Do I really have to break the pot metal bracket?? Perhaps I can soak it in kerosene to clean the bearings and then repack the bearings? Or is there another way to get the tonearm out of the bracket??
