Micro-Seiki RX-5000 platter question


One of my long term customers passed away and left me his RX-5000.  It hasn't been played in 15 plus years but bearing turns fine, motor runs fine and no audible bearing noise when listening with a stethoscope.  It needs a lot of TLC in terms of the platter having years of grunge on it.  There are two holes and you are supposed to screw the two screws of the supplied handle into it in order to lift the very heavy platter up.  There is almost no clearance between the bottom of the platter and the plinth.  Does anyone know what screws are needed to thred into those holes?  I'm sure they'r emetric but need to get it off to clean thoroughly.  Thanks

Dear @hifiguys : I reduce/puts at minimum the platter ringing in my 5000 using sorbothane all around the metal surface in the inside and hollow space below the platter and the mat I used was the SOTA mat along the reflex SOTA clamp. Works fine.

 

Regards and enjoy the MUSIC,
