Re: [Phono-L] "Sprung" Platter

Is that a pressed steel or solid turntable?   It would probably be easier to
find another turntable, but I'd also consider heat and/or talking to an
older automotive body technician.

Anyone know of a  way to repair a "sprung" platter?  Apparently someone
attempted to remove the platter on a VV 1-1 by prying and the platter is now
warped.  I was thinking of possibly using a press to apply pressure and
placing a tack weld on the "high" side of the platter/hub connection.  Would
this work?

Thanks.

I have a VV 1-1, and here is how I removed the turntable. I would saturate the 
spindle with either penetrating oil, liquid wrench or Kroil. Let the oil seep 
into the spindle and the turntable. After a few hours, put a couple of small 
pry bars underneath the turn table. Do not force this Take a standard 
hammer and lightly tap the spindle. The turn table should pop off. You might 
have to use the oil in more than one application. The important thing is to be 
very gentle. These were very cheaply made machines, and delicate. This method 
will work on other machines with stuck turn tables.Harvey Kravitz
