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.

I purchased a replacement lift from an Italian company on Ebay that works great.

Thanks, on the link

I've ordered that one. I'm determined to repair the original. When done I will document the process for others.

Thanks.
