Stylus with Support
(VP STYSUPD or VP STYSUPT)
Part Supply
Most parts of the Stylus are replaceable.
Take care to order for the right Stylus
(Double or Triple).
Roller Arms may need replacement after
a year of heavy use. Knock out old
arms from the hole in the back of the
Plastic Middle with a 4mm punch and
tap in new arms.
Operation Modes
The detent grooves in the Stylus Middle
Plastic help lock the Stylus for three
modes of operation. Use the Adjust
Arm on the Middle Plastic to turn to:
1) ‘On’ position: Roller Arms are sitting
on top of Spool/s pointing to Spool
centre/s applying downward force
increasing the torque transmitted
from the Drive Plates to the Spool.
2) ‘Free Running’ position: One turn of
the Plastic Middle anticlockwise.
Neither Rollers nor Stylus Lock are
engaged. Minimal torque with the
least threat of burning out the drive
plate and/or overworking the Motor.
The Stylus Arms are clear for Spool
mounting/demounting.
3) ‘Locked’ position: One further turn
of the Plastic Middle anticlockwise.
The lock MUST be engaged when
running out more than 1 polywire as
it stops Spools from overrunning -
creating a birds nest!
