The problem is if you would do that, the heads on the empty cartridge
would load and smack together. The RC25 has one motor spindle, one
positioner, and two pairs of heads. I suppose if you found a way to
wedge the upper and lower arms of the removable cartridge so the heads
weren't damaged, you could use the fixed platter alone?
If you didn't, it would be as bad as forcing an RL02 or an RK05 to
load with no platter mounted.
