controller button again or slow down
the platter by hand.
Holding the pushbutton down for more
than one second will switch between
33.3 and 45 rpm.
IV. Platter Removal
To avoid damage to the bearing
surfaces the platter must be removed
without pulling the bearing shaft out
of the bearing assembly. The removal
process requires two small blocks of
wood (or some other suitable material)
roughly ¾” thick. Both blocks must be
the same thickness. A piece of wood 8
to 14” long is also required. Use the
following procedure:
1. Carefully raise the platter up just
high enough to slide blocks of
wood under the platter. Place the
blocks on opposite sides of the
platter to provide even support.
2. Lay a piece of wood on top of the
centering pin and press down
firmly until the spindle has been
pushed down and out of the
platter
3. Lift the platter off of the bearing.
Be sure that the bearing spindle is
fully disengaged from the platter
before lifting.

Drive Belts
Teres turntables come with a drive
belt fabricated from ½” mylar tape.
We prefer the sound of mylar tape but
there is not a clear consensus about
the best drive belt material. Other
materials such as silk thread, fly
fishing line and rubber belts have
been used with good results.
