How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?

Hello,

I am trying to dismantle / pack my Well Tempered Classic early model for shipping?

How do I get the fluid out of the bearing and the viscous dampening fluid out of the arm cup?

Can I clean the cup off after getting the fluid off?

IMPORTANT: How do I get the arm off, what about the tonearm wires that’s connected to the rare of the plinth???????????????????? Do I solder and get it off?

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

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
