Micro seiki dql 120
Hi all
I've just got a beautiful micro seiki dql-120 with a ma-505 arm. As I've been told, I t was out of use for more than 20 years, and the son of the passed away owner, which doesn't care about vinyl at all, decided to sell it.
The issues I found were the rubber that is inside the feet is completely damaged and the stylus of the shure v15 type iv that was on the micro headshell, defenitly needs to be replaced. Other than that everything seems to be ok. It's a very well built table with external power supply and as I tested it with a jvc z1s, it sounds accurate (like all decent direct drive tables) with good soundstage, tight bass, neutral mids and airy highs.
The question is that while I was cleaning it, I proved to pull the platter out but it seems it's not possible. Is anybody knows if the platter of this deck is removeable or fixed?
Any advice will be welcome.
