Help! How to remove arm cable plug? -a quickie

Posted by: mark dunsford on 08 November 2001

Could someone tell me how the SME type plug (on the end of the arm cable) comes off the end off a Linn Ittok arm at the turntable end (LP12). It doesn't seem to want to slide off, I see a hole about 3mm in diameter - does this hide an allan screw, gripping the plug?
Thanks!

There is a very small allen headed grub screw that secures it.

You need to loosen it with a suitably small hex (allen) key.

There's a good PDF doc on Linn's website, with photo's on how to remove arm / cartridge - look for the MC rebuild section.

Thanks Andrew, the link is http://www.linn.co.uk/buy_linn/instructions.cfm
by the way.
Unfortunately I don't have the 1.27mm hex key required, as my arm is obviously one of the old types!
