Turntable set up
When you unpack the deck, check that you have all the items listed in the
parts list.

Place the motor pod in position
at the rear of the plinth. The motor pod
should be located approx 2mm away from the edge of the plinth outer ring.
Place the sub-chassis on the plinth
as shown in the photo. The small
locating pins on the underside of the two black pods locate in the small holes
on the plinth. DO NOT TIGHTEN THE BOLTS IN THE PODS - they
are set to be loose deliberately - if they are tightened sound degradation will
result.
You will find that the sub-chassis can rotate very slightly on the plinth – rotate
it so that the bearing moves towards the motor pod.

SUB-CHASSIS placed on plinth such that pod pins
locate in plinth holes

that a gap of approx 2mm exists

NOTES:
Trouble shooting notes on the sub-chassis (optional reading)
1. The sub-chassis is attached to the “bottom sub-chassis platee” by one “pivot
bolt” – the two plates should be free to swivel and are loosely restrained by an
“anti-rotate bolt” – this locating bolt on the side of the sub-chassis should be
left alone. The pivot bolt is tightened at factory and should not be tightened
or the performance will degrade significantly.
2. If this setting is lost for any reason then the correct tension is such that
the bottom sub-chassis plate can rotate minutely but freely in relation to the
subchassis plate but has minimal “rocking” motion in the vertical plane.
3. The “anti rotate” bolt is bolted tightly to the bottom sub-chassis plate but
has minimal contact with the sub-chassis.
4. If for any reason, tension is lost on any of the other bolts then they should
be just “nipped” tight by 1/8 of a turn from the point where you can just turn
the bolt & nut freely in it’s hole – any tighter than this and performance is
degraded.
