5. Mount your tonearm to the armboard making sure the word FRONT on the underside is facing towards the front of the arm. 
If your armboard already has a grounding strap pre-installed go to step 6. If not, locate the grounding strap and install to the 
left-rear (when viewed from above) arm mounting screw using the nut and washer supplied in the kit as shown below. The 
smaller ring terminal should be used. If the existing left-rear arm mounting bolt is too short, replace it with the longer one 
which is included with the turntable or armboard. 
 

 

 
 
 
6. Install the three Delrin armboard spacers snugly into the turntable chassis. 

DO NOT OVERTIGHTEN OR YOU WILL 

SNAP OFF THE THREADED STUDS. Breakage is not under warranty. 
 

 

 

NOTE: The turntable is supplied with 12mm long de-coupling spacers and the correct length socket head Allen 
screws for the armboard that is supplied with the deck. If changing armboards or tonearm configuration, you may 
have to obtain shorter (10mm) spacers and/or different length socket head screws. If your deck was supplied with a 
Rega armboard and you are mounting a Tecnoarm or Rega-based arm with a Michell VTA adjuster, you will need to 
obtain the shorter 10mm spacers. This is necessary to reduce the extra height introduced by the VTA adjuster in 
order to have sufficient VTA adjustment range.
