You got lucky on that one, Joe. Those metal castings often just break apart. I've got one with a crack that formed as it just sat there.

I put it in the freezer for 20 minutes and then warmed it up kinda quick. It still didn't move so I took it out to the garage, put it in the vice(carefully padded) and used a padded pipe to rotate it. It is moving and now can be adjusted to play discs etc. But the arm has to be removed. Maybe it'll loosen up in time. I put a small amout of rig greese at the joint and maybe it'll work it's was in in time. No hurry. The PB spray is a good idea too. I would have not thought of your method. Thank you for your interest and assistance.
