The transport/transit screws in BSR and Garrard decks of the 60s and 70s are a very clever design. Screwed fully in they fix the deck horizontally in the plinth but in a way that allows some float, screw them out and they lock the floating deck springs down so the deck and player can be safely moved around.

On some early radiograms, where the deck folds away vertically, they even stop the deck falling out

The clip on the bottom of the transit screws is the clever bit; they are normally horizontal to achieve all the features above but turn them vertically and they neatly slide through the plinth mounting hole so you can remove the deck. However these clips often defeat first time users who tend attack them with pliers in the frustration of trying to work out how to remove them!

So many radiograms and plinths have them missing because they get damaged beyond repair or simply lost during renovation; so we've made some replacement clips that are better than the originals

They are made of tough but flexible plastic, they are a bright colour so you can see them under the deck, they are extremely strong (see photo - they can easily support a deck upside down) and thankfully are much easier to fit and remove (no tools, no forcing... easy)

Available in high-visibility red or black like the originals

Package includes:

2 x transit clips (no screws)

Note: these clips fit many different varieties of transit screws. For example they fit all BSRs of the 60s and 70s and lots of the mass production Garrards from 1962 onwards (Autoslim variants, Unimech variants etc) and they even fit the transit screws of many of the modern Chinese retro decks (that simply copied the BSR technique). See photos for a sample. There's some Garrard, some BSR, some long, some short, some slot head, some cross head, 1 Chinese etc)
