Micro Seiki RX 5000


I just gor RX5000 from my uncle and I actualy wanna clean bearing and re-fill new oil for it, but I don'
t really know how to remove the platter from it frame. It's really heavy. Does anyone give me a clue for this?

Thx.

Or maybe the pump is missing. If it will not turn or has a FV designation, don't force it!
The spindle should unscrew by hand. It may be frozen from age. Take it off without burring or scratching by using a cloth and light plier work. Lube it when putting back on.
I concur with Elizabeth but If I were you, I'd take the whole thing to a high end turntable specialist to bring back to full glory. I've been looking for one of these for a while. Good luck.
If it is an air bearing platter, it will not rotate without the pump without damage. If it is an air bearing platter, the spindle should unscrew with only finger pressure. Look here. http://www.vinylengine.com/library/micro-seiki/rx-5000.shtml
