Now use the AQUILAR’s dedicated
alignment template (description on
page 24).
Please see picture for reference - you will
find all needed mounting gear and tools in the
accessory box.
On top of the
AQUILAR’s
bearing house is a
12 mm diameter stainless steel plate with a
small center hole. This center hole clearly marks
the pivot center of the
AQUILAR
(
1
).
First place the
AQUILAR’s
alignment
template - with 20 mm white POM spindle ring
in place in the hole in the mirrored tangential
template - onto the spindle of your turntable
(
2 + 3
).
In its resting position, the inside of the
AQUILAR’s
headshell should be
approximately 2” or 5 cm away from the outer
rim of the turntable’s platter.
Now take one of the 2 small 7 mm spindle
adapter hood and
SLOWLY
and
CAREFULLY
place it on top of the spindle and ever so slightly
press down (
4
). Check which one fits better.
IMPORTANT - be careful!!
DO NOT
press down the spindle adapter any
more than 1-2 mm. If you press too hard, you
will have a very hard time getting the white
20 mm POM ring off your spindle again (
5
).
The 7 mm spindle adapter allows the
precise centering of the alignment tool on a
wide range of spindle diameters.
Remember
Please be careful and do not use any excessive
force. Pushing down realy hard creates a VERY
tight lock which you will have big problems
loosening up again.
