Sending my Linn LP 12 Transcription Globally


Maybe you could help me.

So I cannot remember if I should take the hinges off dust cover and pack up cover separately? I have the platter spindle off and have very carefully covered up the post with a small (clean) plastic bag.

What should I cover the female post base hole up with. Will it potentially leak oil?

Arm: I should zero out my anti skate and remove the counter weight? Probably twist tie the arm to the rest?

Any ifo is much appreciated. Any packing diagrams?

I have the original box

Thank you, mark

I do have the box. Once the hinges come off. how does the dust cover sit inside the box?

Does the arm just come of from the ste screws on the back?

Thanks everyone for the helpfull responses.

Hey Mark, the arm comes off of the arm collar which is mounted to the armboard. The allen key for it is on the right side as you are looking at the arm from the front. There also is a set screrw that may or may not be used to hold the arm cable in the arm. On the right side (looking form the front)is a tiny allen screw inset in the arm post. If you pull and feel a lot of resistance it is probably tightened. The armboard unscrews by 3 screws from the underside. You must take the armboard off or it will be forcibly removed in shipping and you will need to buy a new one. Depending on how old the packaging is the dust cover normally sits in the top piece of styrofoam, there is an indention for it.
Thanks very much. Hope the buyer is prepared to put it back together.
Probably should let him know.

go to Lowes and buy a can of that spray foam isolation.
Stick the turntable in a box, with the dust cover off of course, and spray away...
