I have just bought an old Pioneer PL12D turntable, have renewed the belt and played a couple of records OK, about an hour. Then I put on another disc and the centre spindle shaft is totally seized. I have removed it to inspect and have put a little WD 40 at the bottom of the shaft, where it goes into the brass sleeve (bearing?). also a little WD 40 into the hole where a small screw usually is fitted, to retain something?
Any ideas on how to free up the shaft from the brass tube? I have read various threads about relubricating, but I need to get it to come apart first!
Has anyone had a similar problem and managed to fix it please?
