Assemble your Alexandria
-
Install the platter without the drive belt being carefull to insert the spindle vertically in the
bearing assembly.
-
note 1: Do not remove the transit screws
-
note 2: Do not pour the oil in the bearing well at this time
-
Put the mat on the platter
Install the tone arm and phono cartridge
Note: We begin the assembly section with this topic because it is simpler to work on the turntable
without accessories. Furthermore, with the transit screws in place the mounting plateform is rigid
making all adjustments safer.
-
Install the tone arm following the manufacturer recommendations.
-note 1: The cutting of the arm board can sometimes be troublesome on top of being a
potential hazard. The use of an adequate tolling is important to both accuracy and safety.
Oracle can supply a pre-drilled arm board for mostly any tone arms available.
