the motor spindle until you find the
perfect on axis spinning – a PERFECT
on axis spinning must be found with a
bit of practice eventually marking up
one of the 2 hex bolts to know which
one needs to be tighten more. Be
careful not to tight the hex bolts to
much, the pulley threaded hex bolt
holes could be damaged
SPEED VARIATIONS
The turntable speed vary
up and down continuously
•
[The AC synchronous motors
speeds can be affected only by the
HERTZ or eventually by the dimension
of the pulleys
•
Any speed variation with a
fixed pulley dimension is caused by your
AC power national supplier or by your
home AC system, check it out
SPINDLE (of the Platter):
CLAMPING THE
PLATTER SPLIT SPINDLE
TO THE PLATTER
The Platter wobbles on its
edges or it vertically
shakes during playing
•
Clamp the Spindle tip into the
above side of the platter screwing it
strongly using a metal pin to get into the
tip hole
•
•
If the strongly clamp screwing
of the spindle tip does not fix the platter
enough, the platter hole is been enforced
after final user assembling
•
It needs to be substituted by
your local dealer

SPINDLE/BEARING (of the
Platter) NOISE
The Spindle makes noise
during platter spinning
•
The Platter Bearing/Spindle
system are very dirty making a too strong
friction
•
•
The Platter Bearing/Spindle
system are new and they need a break in
time to sweep out all the internal
unwanted particles
•
After a couple of weeks of
playing clean and re-wet them with
some fresh oil supplied
SPINDLE (of the Platter):
TIP OF THE DIAMETER
The Records hardly fit into
the Platter Spindle Tip
•
Bluenote Platter Spindle Tips
have a 7,2mm of diameter that is the
recognised international standard but
many records are wrongly moulded
•
Sorry you need to enforce the
record into the Platter Spindle Tip
SWITCHING ON/OFF
BUMP
The turntable bumps any
time is switched ON or
OFF
•
It is important to notice that it
does not produce any risk even if the
bump is high, but if you have a turntable
with a serial number before 11650
•
Ask your local dealer to add a
proper ceramic capacitor able to filter
such noise
SPEAKER HUMMING
PROBLEMS
The speakers hum when
the turntable is connected
to the system
•
The Turntable CAN NOT
makes any noise hearable into the
speaker by itself
•
Eventually a tone arm cable
problem can occur; please check other
ways out
