YES MY MOTOR BOARD DOES SWIVEL ZONO
-----Original Message----- From: William Zucca <rochr...@gmail.com> To: Antique Phonograph List <phono-l@oldcrank.org> Sent: Tue, Jan 11, 2011 12:00 am Subject: Re: [Phono-L] Stuck Motor Board If I could verify that the motor board is on a swivel then I would place a board lined with a felt strip on it across the BACK of the motor board and give a few swift blows with the mallet to see if I can loosen it. Perhaps someone who owns an XVII can verify that the motor board swivels on a pivot just to the rear of its center so I don't do any damage.
