Hi All This cheap Victor IV that I bought is nickling and diming me. I have bought some replacement parts, had the cabinet refinished, and purchased an original horn, and had the metal renickeled. The turntable wobbles, and rather than it being a bent turntable it seems to be a bent spindle. I don't think there's any fixing that unless it is just to replace it. Still, I am well within the value. So I guess that's a consolation! To the business at hand: After a 30 minute wrestling match, I have given up for the night. I had to disassemble my Vic IV speed control because the old screw in the yoke assembly needed replacement. I unscrewed the yoke, disassembled the top portion of the governor, removed the yoke, and replaced the old chewed up screw with a replacement original. Now I can't get that f$^&ing spring back in the right place. You have to hold it on the yoke, wind the long end down under the speed control arm, and then insert the arm through the loops and the yoke. How do you do this without going insane? If necessary I can send a pic, but some of you with Victors must know what I mean.....

There is a pin in the shaft that the spring hooks on, right? Maybe you should remove the pin, assemble the shaft and spring, wind up the spring a turn and then insert the pin to hold the spring in place.
