Platter rotates quite freely but gets tight occasionally – I guess when the mangled belt makes it stick.

I’m properly baffled by this TT! I have accessed the underside and there is nothing there which might release the platter. In the photo of the spindle housing you should be able to make out a black cog – which doesn’t appear to engage with anything! And the last pic shows a cutout in the plate through which you can see the underside of the platter. As I turn the platter by hand occasionally bits of mangled belt appear – but how could you replace a belt with no access to the motor under the platter? There’s no cutouts in the platter for locating a belt on the drive spindle – er – as I say – baffled !!

Nope – still firmly fixed. I’ll go in from underneath and see what I find.

Thanks for the advice – I got the strobe and rubber mat off – hoping to see some screws I could undo to remove the platter – sadly they appear to be rivets. Any further suggestions welcomed.
