@yoyoyaya  The metal collet does unscrew, but that’s all I can do. Very frustrated. Probably going to cut the old one off and replace it with something aftermarket. No idea what’s out there, I have a mission for tomorrow.

@dweller  You’re right about the O ring on the female side, there isn’t one on the male side. The O ring is between the lock pieces. I tried to unscrew the female side with a pliers and cloth and so far nothing has moved.

Whats on your turntable tonight?
