FR 64s tone arm lift servicing

I own FR-64 kinds since the 80is. Some of them have had this

problem . I ''dissected'' the whole lift ,cleaned the inside tube

and put the whole together. Not easy but it can be done. No ''fluid

problem'' and, besides, there is no way to add ''grease'' or

''fluid'' of any kind.

I need ,alas, to use an ''strange expression'' in order to explain

what I mean. I hope my English teacher Lew will provide the right

expression? Something like ''weak glue''. Ikeda used such glue

for the cover plate on the VTF adjuster (the only access in

the FR-64 inside),  under the aluminum scale  which need to

 be removed to get access to screws for the bearing and 5 Din

connector.

This is a kind of introduction to the covering black plastic thing

in the bottom of the lift. The thing is also glued there with this

''weak glue'' (grin). As with other ''glued parts'' one need to be

very careful.

I purchased a replacement lift from an Italian company on Ebay that works great.
