![]() Seems odd, I thought you’d want to isolate those parts. The tonearm was mounted to an arm board which was bolted to the suspended part of the turntable, along with the spindle and platter. This unit had a Linn Basik tonearm with Asak cartridge. I put a record on and heard scraping, so adjusted the bolts until it went away. I had to wind the bolts quite a long way up to get the platter above the plinth and spinning freely. A bit of trial and error and everything was looking good. This was fairly straightforward: there are three bolts with locknuts which are used to tension the springs providing the suspension and raise the platter. I put some oil on the bolt and worked the washer down the shaft, then went about levelling up the platter. I opened it up, found that the plastic washer at the base of one suspension spring had worked its way up the long stainless bolt, so it wasn’t possible to get the platter level. There is zero information about these on the internet, I don’t think they were made for that long a period of time, or were very successful. The owner, his customer, had messed with the suspension adjustment and now nothing worked.
