onkyo CP-1200A belt drive TT - how to pull the table so I can replace the belt

The belt of my wife's Onkyo CP-1200A turntable is shot. Pulling the platter
should be easy, but gentle tugging on the platter seems to indicate there's a
catch somewhere.

Anyone got a clue

Thanks,

Ty Ford

Get a service manual from

And I bet you'll find a C-clip holding the center shaft in place.

Her own turntable? Thin end of the wedge there, Ty.
Next she'll be wanting her own toothbrush :-)

No, that's for migraines and being hit on the head lessons. This was a
