Technics Height Adjustment Stuck

Technics Height Adjustment Stuck

Hi guys,

The title basically says it all. Took the tonearm assembly out, got the tonearm part loose but I just can’t get the adjustment ring (with the numbers on) loose from the baseplate. Heating it, WD-40, nothing works.

Any ideas?

Suuuper grateful for any help, it’s 1.30am here right now and I have parts all over the place, just want to finish this tonight…

EDIT: Finally it came loose, can’t really tell you how but I’m happy haha

For future reference, this is a good guide on how to fix the height adjustment on your Technics:

^^ yeah!
i’m using this video as a guide too when i do mine.

Yeah, viperfrank is the man haha! I actually used those videos but it took me hours to get everything loose. Guess the turntables hadn’t been taken apart since they were bought. I think it was a combination of WD-40 and heat that finally made it for me.

Viperfrank is awesome!
