HMV 2040 gramophone
Anyone know how to extract the deck from this? Seems to be held by the transit bolts but it doesn't come free with them screwed in or out.
Is there a trader sheet? Though the amp is so simple I doubt I'll need it. |

Re: HMV 2040 gramophone
Trader 1916 covers it. To remove the deck you apparently tighten the transit screws (fully anti-clockwise) then remove the single plated screw in the centre of the back of the case and two front screws from the underside (also securing the front feet) then lift it out by the transit screws.
You can get the data by clicking the banner top right (it's also on my CD#2). |

Re: HMV 2040 gramophone
Paul, thanks for the sheet number. That helped me find I've got a paper copy. Is there an index for the high numbered sheets?

Re: HMV 2040 gramophone
Thanks again. Now all I've got to do is give the thing a decent service. I suspect it needs electrolytics, pot cleaning and deck clean/lubricate. Probably needs a new stylus too but that should be available from Musonic.
Really ought to get a microscope so that I can examine styli. |
