The Talking Machine Forum — For All Antique Phonographs & Recordings

I just found a 2-55 in need of some tlc. I'm not sure if the platter is supposed to slide off on this model or use another method like a c-clip. It seems like a c-clip design, but I can't see where it might be to access it. I tried searching but didn't find any specifics addressing this.

What say you, wizards of the portable phonograph?

Here are some pictures for reference.

Threaded spindle. Put a rod through the hole in the spindle and unscrew the top, then lift off the turntable.

That's what I needed to confirm. Thank you very much!

Please share some more pictures... this is the first one I've seen with maroon parts...

The example on the Victrola site appears to be maroon, too
