I am exploring the Victor XII I have and before deciding what to do with it, I have some questions. I am a little confused by the disassembly of the Victor XII motor & removal of the tone arm. It is my experience that when removing a motor from the motor board, it involves removing the bolts from the motor board and the motor ( with the spindle attached) drops out the opening in the center of the motor board In the case of the Victor XII, "no hole in the motor board, large enough to accommodate the Cup portion " . So: Does the spindle top portion above the motor board, thread apart, allowing the bottom portion to be removed and be separated from the top? Does the spindle need to be removed by loosening the gear which meshes with the governor shaft, then pulled up from the top and the motor board can be removed? With regard to the "tone arm" removal: It appears that the tone arm bracket is in 2 parts. To remove the tone arm from the shaft in the bracket do you: Loosen the screw in the tone arm from the shaft, somehow, push the rod / shaft down and then tilt the shaft and slide the tone arm off similar to a Victor II -VI: Or, remove the 2 bolts holding the top part from the base and it will come apart in pieces and can be removed by removing the tone arm from the shaft after it is out of the bracket? What is the "function" of the "cup" shaped part on the top portion of spindle? It seems like a rest sport for the platter.
