How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?

Hello Jimbo3,

Thank you so much for you kind offer, sincerely.
I do have the manual but it never says anything about removing the fluid.

I am assuming the same goes for the bearing lubricant as well? Pour it out or use a damp cloth to soak it off?

The wiring from the tonearm, do I have to unsolder it?

Thanks

Rap- Yes, you're on the right track with pouring out as much as you can, then wiping out as much as possible with a paper towel, then clean up the residue with either rubbing alcohol or denatured. (Can't remember which- let me check on that for you.)

DO NOT UN-SOLDER THE TONEARM LEADS FROM THE CONNECTION BRACKET. Once again, remove the two screws and the bracket will come away from the plinth. The bracket, leads and arm are one assembly.

Jimbo3,

Thank you kindly!

One more thing!
The attachment in the cup of the tonearm,(microfilament/fishing string) to the base -white ring which resides in the cup..........leave it in the cup when I get the fluid out correct?

What about the lubricant for the platter, same as well?

Thanks

Rapogee

Rap- Yes, leave it in the cup. You'll need to stuff the cup with packing material to keep the disc in place. Pack the arm carfully so that it doesn't put any strain on the string.

Also, the manual says rubbing alcohol to clean up the fluids.

Good Luck!
Jim
