:stupid: doh....
Of course it is we talked about that earlier in the thread!
I learnt a bunch about my Turntable(s) in the process of tweaking / adjusting and fixing.
To date I have not had to dismantle a pivoted arm. (although I did have to do some adjusting and cleaning of my Linear tracking arm on the Revox.... that was a bit of a challenge!)
With stuff as precise as arms it is often just a matter of cleaning...
Depending on the bearing design, when you put it back together you can sometimes improve the performance by adding a tiny touch of the right kind of heavy lubricant to the bearings...
The idea being to keep the arm moving smoothly and easily, but to provide a smidge of damping of high frequency vibrations at the bearing point....
One of many tweaks people add to their TT's
Also once you have confidence in being able to dismantle/remantle your arm, a range of other arm damping mods/tweaks become possible. (and these are the same things that frequently differentiate basic arms for top end megabuck arms.... and can sometimes be implemented for pennies)
Good luck with that
