How to Remove the Tonearm from the Numark PT01
Parts needed:
–straight pick, or thin metal rod (less than 2mm diameter)
-needle nose pliers (any and optional)
notes:
-the pin used for the tonearm axle has a star on one end
-the star does not fit through the metal part of the tonearm base
-the star must be pushed away from the tonearm to remove the pin
-the pics show a version of the tonearm that needs to be pushed from the inside out. try this first
-if pushing inside out doesn’t work, try pushing from the outside in, like in the video
