Hexagonal spanner for Fidelity Research FR 66S tonearm


Am hoping to sell for a friend but can not remove the piece from the arm board. Manual mentions a hexagonal spanner. Does not seem to be included in box nor could I find a pic to possibly jog owners memory. Anyone out there who can help? TIA, LS

So maybe my memory is faulty in that the huge nut with parallel flat surfaces is common to setup both with and without the B60.  But if that is the case, why would your manual refer to a "hexagonal" nut? With the B60 nut, no hexagonal wrench is appropriate.  Just grab it with an adjustable wrench, the kind with two flat surfaces that move together or apart with the spiral shaped adjuster, and Bob’s your uncle. More likely, you have the B60 VTA adjuster there, which would account for the discrepancy between the language of the manual and the nut you are looking at. The B60 adds at least $500 of value to the ensemble, IMO. Maybe more.

Here is a photo. Have not been able to remove the black knob (I assume it is supposed to be removable and is part of the B60 VTA adjustment?) Before I take a large wrench to a part of an expensive mechanism that does not belong to me, I ask for further guidance.

Well I guess I also do not know how to import pics. Tried dragging and dropping twice but no luck!!

Black knob is NOT removable from the B60. You may damage the B60 if you try hard enough.
