The spring setup is part of the cartridge. That cartridge was designed for car use, or boat use. Set up correctly it's almost impossible to make skip. Pretty cool.Did you ever manage to get if off? I just got a 1019 and it had the same exact spring deal
Looking at the original picture, it looks like the cartridge is being held on by the sled release lever. Might be very easy to restore, but see how they wired it...
