Hi John ~
A precision-fitting hollow ground screwdriver will solve most stubborn
screw problems at the outset and save burring the screw slot as well.

Thanks Melissa and Nick! Luckily the screw head is fairly deep, not
like those danged screws on the back of a Victrola no. 2 reproducer.
I always manage to wreck one of the four!!

Hi John,
Nick and I have had great success getting those stubborn screws out
with this easy method. Use the correct size screwdriver which is
quite small. Attach a pair of vise-grips to the screwdriver handle
and use the grips to turn the screwdriver as you apply pressure. It
works every time for us! The vise-grips give you just enough
leverage to do the job and not strip the tiny screw. Good Luck!
Melissa

Hello all
I need to replace the governor springs on a Victor II. I have
removed the weights and springs from the shaft, but the small screws
that connect the weight to the springs will not budge. What do you
all recommend to get them loose? They are really tight and I don't
want to strip the screwheads.
Thanks
John Robles
