Inside The 1984 Pioneer PL-L30 Linear Tracking Turntable

Here is a 1984 Pioneer PL-L30 Linear Tracking Turntable that I picked up today from Goodwill for .99. Of course, the belts were bad (there is a turntable belt and a tone arm assembly motor belt). I borrowed a TT belt from my 80's Panasonic stereo and I heated the tone arm motor belt with a lighter to shrink it up a bit, and now it works fine. The original Audio Technica stylus is in great condition. The grease inside has become sticky over time, and will need to be removed/replaced. The tone arm moves a little slower when starting the record because of this. I have removed the dust cover for this video. There are two LEDs that automatically determine the record size, and adjusts the speed accordingly. Thanks for watching!

How did you get the dust cover off?? I am stumped on how to access the spindle to service or replace the belt!
