Dual 1019 return issue

I am no means an expert but here's what I would do: (based on many years of chasing spring clips)
I would loosely apply masking tape from the enclosed part of the ring to the shaft (making a hinge) to prevent it from flying (which it will) or have a strong magnet to hold it.
And use one of these as earlier suggested:

They look too big. The clip holes are probably only 1/16" apart. I'm heading to Harbor Freight soon, to see if they have a really small snap ring tool.
 
I can usually get those off, not that I have tried that specific one, with mini screwdrivers or pliers. Of course this way you have even greater risk of losing the clip.

Tim, I think you're on to something. I Googled the issue, and there was a guy with the exact issue. Here's how he fixed it, but I'm looking at the service manual, and don't see anything called a pawl or pall. Does anyone know what part numbers they are?

"Fixed and working like a charm now!

I believe the culprit may have been sticky trip pawls (thank you DSJR). Before any attempt to build up the stuerpimpel, I wanted to rule out any cam issues. I removed the cam, inspected the ramp area and removed the pawls as they were sticky with a very light coat of grease! I cleaned them in alcohol and let them dry thoroughly. I reinstalled them dry and she now works like a charm. Though I don't recall applying grease to them back in October when I first rebuilt this table, I must have...'

Sorry, a bit late to the party here. That was my post you quoted above. Cleaning the trip pawls fixed the problem for a while, then maybe a couple of months later it started dragging the stylus before lifting the arm again. I ended up replacing the stuerpimpel and it has worked fine ever since. Though I removed the pawls to clean them at the time, I have since learned that they can be cleaned by dowsing them with alcohol or contact cleaner and working them back and forth while leaving them on the cam. Removing the cam makes this process easier.

I got the new stuerpimpel from Pat's and I'll say that it really didn't look much different from the old one (not noticeably taller) , but for whatever reason it has worked quite well.

Thanks Tim, I never put 2 and 2 together, to realize that was you who started that thread. I'm going to order a new stuerpimpel. Did you scuff the smooth side of the arm, that contacts the stuerpimpel, or lubricate the area?

Yes, I scuffed the underside up a bit with some 180 grit and then smeared a very light coat of grease on it. My name is Luke by the way!

My bad Luke! There was a guy Tim from an earlier post, who suggested it was the pawls on the cam. I got you confused with him.
 
Scuffing up the paddle is an incorrect action. These paddles have a finish like emery paper and scuffing it up puts trenendous stress on the pimple contact surface.
