How to dismantle Well Tempered for shipping?

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

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
