Shipping a CD player? Where is the Transit Screw?

I am shipping a Wadia 850 and some have told me there is a transit screw on the bottom to lock the transport. Well, when I turn the 850 on its side to look for anything that even closely resembles a transit screw, there is nothing.

All I see are the 50 or so hex-like that are used for assemble and 2 allen-bolts which are both screwed in already. One in front, one in back. Could these be the transit screws?

There are not any other holes or orifices that can accept a 'transit screw'. I suppose my question is, as I understand some transports have a self locking (when not powered on and in use) screw, is this the case with the 850 perhaps?

I have tried to call and email Wadia, and they are useless, ZERO responses, ZERO!

Thanks for all your remarks. I will attempt the allens, front and rear.

I did check the entire unit for exactly what you (MEJAMES) describe, but there is no such. In fact, in reading the entire manual, front to back, there is absolutely no mention of such!

Thanks for the response.

Fatparrot -

I have not touched or moved anything for fear of a serious issue coming from such a move. I have learned the hard way (over tightened a spark plug in a Honda - aluminum heads, WHOOPS!, I stripped it!) and since, do not touch, turn, screw, or unscrew - keeping in audio now - anything unless I know its purpose.

Great idea on the Northern Sound, as I see their mods often spoken of here on AGON.

I will try them tomorrow.

Thanks for the lead.
