How do I remove the platter? There seems to be a clip preventing its removal.

You have to pry the clip off. It's only purpose is to keep the platter on during shipping. Notice the abscence of any clip on the front cover picture of the unit.

The top is secured with silicone. You should be able to remove it and reattach it.

Nope. It has to be removed. There are videos on YouTube that show exactly how to do this. The worst part is one of the clips, it's very hard to remove - but given time and patience, it is doable. Repair shops would charge $150 or more for this.

I am another who bought this turntable from Costco.com. My problem turned out to be that the belt was not even on but hanging freely. You could see it through on one of the openings in the platter. So I popped off the clip around the spindle holding the platter on and attached the belt. I used a Bic pen cap, placed between the platter and the belt in one of the openings on the platter to make it very easy to attach the belt to the post on the table. Everything appears to work now although I have not recorded anything.

Either something is probably bent around the basket ... straighten it out .... or ... there might be a small metal spur around the moving parts that will have to be twisted off with needle nose pliers or filed off with a small metal file. Push comes to shove, and you don't have a metal file .... try the file on a pair of fingernail clippers. (It's worked for me before) ..... or .... call "Amazon Customer Service" and they will be happy to take care of it for you with a new one. I do like mine a lot !

I think you're talking about the trays. It should slide apart. If its stuck it must be due to like a pressure change or something where it expanded. Maybe just give it a few good taps in the palm of your hand.

It appears to be held in place with a metal retaining clip. I don't see any way to remove it completely, but cutting it off with hacksaw would work. There is a bit of sliding friction, I'm not sure if this would be a problem or not for you.

pop the top(the "handle" it takes a little effort!)then take off the clear plastic part. The cap on the bottom acts as a funnel to help! let me know if that helps!

Use a scissors and pry it out. Be careful not to cut yourself. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JDr7-7NAblY

It was hard to get it off, but it should come out. I obviously can't see your item, but make sure you are pressing the tab on the side in while pulling it out. Using a dime or a very small flathead screwdriver would probably do the trick if you can't get it with/have no fingernails.

Try prying the top with a screw driver orpry bar. Be careful the plastic edges can be sharp.

They only way to remove the plate is to unscrew the bolt that holds it on. I did this to attach it to my TV.

Try prying it open with a screwdriver or a butterknife.try pressing it down then pry up.

I just removed mine again to test it and found that it can be removed relatively easy without any issues. Good Luck!

I found that at the edge at the back of the plate I can generally get my finger nail in there and lift up a corner. Once it starts lifting anywhere it becomes very easy. Try not to peal it back too far. Lift it more than pulling it over itself, it breaks off that way. If you can't get it with your fingernail one person said he uses a knife - if you try that don't use a sharp one.

Because the middle insert is removable, I have found it easy to do. After you have the bottome removed and it placed on the plate you want, just remove the insert first and it will come out.

I tried but could not remove the drawer. Might have a release that is not obvious.
