FR 64s tone arm lift servicing

@nandric  thank you.

Do you have any specifics on how you got into the mechanisim

Right now the bottom pressed slug looks like the way in and it appears to be a one shot deal at the time of mfr. If I attempt to get it out it looks like it willl be destroyed and I will have to mfr another slug- which I will do if I have to. 

Just looking for any specific advice if you recall your process.

Thanks,.

Hi nkj, By loosening the screw with which the lift is fastened
to the arm you can remove the whole lift from the arm.
Remove the lift from above. Then remove the black round
cover at the bottom of the lift. Then you can see how the
lift lever works. The lift lever need to be removed in order to
get the ''cylinder'' with oil out. Clean the under side of the
lift lever and then put the whole together. I am not sure but
think that the lift lever causes the lift to drop. To put it otherwise
one can see that the lift lever drops instead to move slowly 
down. 

Hi @nandric ,

My question more specifically is how to get the plastic plug out from the bottom without breaking it. Thank you.

I had the same problem when I recently purchased an FR-64S from Japan.  I purchased a replacement lift from an Italian company on Ebay that works great.  I’ll look through my account records and get more specific...
