Cartridge Counter Weight Adjustment
Loosen counterweight screw with the 1.5mm (thin) hex Allen key to counterweight moves easily.
Slide counterweight to halfway down counter balance support rod, making sure screw stays
uppermost.
Remove felt mat and place plastic stylus pressure gauge on platter by tonearm. Place tonearm on
the gauge with needle on the mN scale point as follows:
10mN - 1.0 grams
15mN - 1.5 grams
20mN - 2.0 grams
Set the counter weight so the gauge rests horizontal and parallel with the surface of the platter.
Once the correct position is found, carefully tighten the counterweight screw without moving the
counterweight.
Once tightened, check the weight again, to make sure nothing has moved.
Set anti-skate control (see previous page) by twisting thumbscrew at its end. Set anti-skate control
so pointer indicates the same value as used for tracking weight on its scale.
Vertical Tracking adjustment
Some cartridges have a larger assembly and it may be necessary to lift the tonearm overall to
maintain correct operating position. This can be adjusted by loosening the vertical tracking adjust
screw (see previous page) using the 3mm (thick) Allen key. The whole arm pivot and assembly can
then be raised or lowered accordingly. Adjust height so tonearm is parallel to the record surface.
Take care not to allow stylus to slip sideways
CAUTION: Do not over tighten the screw as this could deform the arm pillar. Finger tight is tight
enough.
