VPI HW27 Typhoon Record Cleaner

Enjoy John!

Oh me of little faith.
Had another look this morning and there it was, but very hard to spot. Used a craft knife as suggested and have now removed
platter.
All I`ve got to do now is take the pump off.
Many thanks for all your help, its made my christmas

Agreed, I didn't spot mine at first either, it is a very fine fit.

You sure it doesnt have a seperate cork section directly around spindle that is an inch or so in diameter? Double check it, the "seam" may be hard to spot at first glance.

Hi
Thanks for the response, the hw 27 must be different it just has the cork matting all over

Yup, spot on advice. My units platter was delivered loose and after a couple minutes looking it over it was just a quick tightening of platter screws.

If it is like the 16.5, there is a small (approx 2" Dia.) circle around the spindle in the cork mat. And that can be lifted and this reveals 3 screws that attach it to the hub. Just be carefull lifting that so that you can re-use it. I used the tip of a utility knife and lift the edges, full circumfrance to make sure the edges are easier lift.
