Any Neat P-68H owners out there? Looks like early 60's, Japanese idler. Very cool table. I recently came into possession of one and am attempting some basic service on it. One of the first things I wanted to do was remove the main bearing housing with the platter spindle for a good cleaning and re-lube, but I cant for the life of me figure out how to remove the spindle from the housing.
The housing attaches to the top plate with three screws. I can remove it from the top plate with no issues, but from there I'm lost. There isn't any sort of set screw holding the spindle in, and the bottom of the housing doesn't seem to unscrew to expose the bearing itself. It would seem that you're suppose to just pull the spindle out, but that doesn't work either.
Anyone have any clues? I can post some pics of the housing when I get home tonight for further reference.
