[Phono-L] removing turn table

For removing the turntable shaft, try this tool.

Piano technicians drive new tuning pins into the sound board by using 
a punch made for the purpose. It has a concave hole in the bottom so 
that it doesn't slip off the pin and so that it distributes the blow more 
evenly over the surface of the pin with less chance of marking it. 
Those clever in the machine shop could make a similar tool out of 
brass (softer and less likely to mar the driven surface) by drilling the 
new punch with an appropriately chosen drill and then finishing with 
an appropriately chosen bit in a Dremel tool.

Cheers,

Don
