For those in Canada, Mexico and the USA, this forum will help resolve those differences and answer your questions.enCommunityServer 2008 SP2 (Build: 31104.93)https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/278668.aspxWed, 02 Jun 2010 13:05:16 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:278668Medogsfat0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/278668.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=278668<p>Welcome to Beoworld<img src="http://forum.beoworld.org/emoticons/01.gif" alt="Smile" /></p> <p>Lift off the platter and there are 3 &quot;discs&quot; with slotted holes. Turn them so you can access the screws below which then need to be screwed out until they clear the discs.&nbsp;Next turn the discs so you can then tighten the crews down&nbsp;onto them. This will lock the floating suspension.&nbsp;Leave the platter off for transporting &amp; also carefully support the tonearm (both under the counterweight at the back&nbsp;&amp; the arm itself)&nbsp;with some foam &amp; secure with tape.</p> <p>As for the cartridge - there are 2 schools of though.&nbsp;One says&nbsp;always remove a cartridge&nbsp;before transporting which is generally sound advice in most cases. However the MMC* range of cartridges can lose contact with the pins by unplugging them which can result in losing one or both channels &amp; cannot be remedied. Not that this is guaranteed to happen but it has been known. Personally I would leave it on &amp; simply ensure the stylus guard is lowered. As you will be transporting&nbsp;the TT&nbsp;yourself I&#39;m sure there will be no need to remove it.</p> <p>Chris.</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/278656.aspxWed, 02 Jun 2010 12:31:14 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:278656dhenning0https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/278656.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=20&PostID=278656<p>How do I secure the turntable so it doesn&#39;t bounce during a move, or do I need to worry about that?</p> <p>&nbsp;</p><div style="clear:both;"></div>
