I am restoring an RCA Victrola console and am now working on the TT. It does work but struggles a bit through the change cycle, most likely due to built up old grease.
In removing the slide mechanism to get to the flywheel I came across this little c clip that needs to be removed. I have tried to remove with a small screwdriver but cannot seem to budge this baby. Note that below it is a washer and below that is a spring that holds the whole thing in compression.
I don't want to force anything and was wondering if anyone had any tips on how to remove one of these? Is there a tool that can be used with the two small holes on the arms to pry it open enough to get it off?
Thanks for any suggestions!!
