I had the same problem when I recently purchased an FR-64S from Japan. I purchased a replacement lift from an Italian company on Ebay that works great. I’ll look through my account records and get more specific...
FR 64s tone arm lift servicing
Does anyone know how to get into the tone arm lifter to service it?
Mine just drops. There is a black plastic like press fit slug on the bottom of the cylinder but no obvious way of removing it without destroying in my estimation.
Any help is appreciated- it likely needs oil/grease

I need ,alas, to use an ''strange expression'' in order to explain what I mean. I hope my English teacher Lew will provide the right expression? Something like ''weak glue''. Ikeda used such glue for the cover plate on the VTF adjuster (the only access in the FR-64 inside), under the aluminum scale which need to be removed to get access to screws for the bearing and 5 Din connector. This is a kind of introduction to the covering black plastic thing in the bottom of the lift. The thing is also glued there with this ''weak glue'' (grin). As with other ''glued parts'' one need to be very careful. |
