Anybody know? It doesn't just slide off. There must be some kind of release or something. :confused:
Thanks.

    It's probably a snap ring on the spindle. Here's the manual for a 1219.

    You should remove the platter for regular maintenance, i.e., clean and oil the spindle well, clean the ilder and inner platter rim, etc.
    More later,
