INSTRUCTIONS AND INFORMATION 

 
 
 
 

 

Trouble may be experienced with the D22-1 pickup head due to instability of the 
armature centering adjustment. Improvements have been made in recent production 
to minimize this condition by decreasing the diameter of the centering spring and 
making a more substantial attachment of the same spring to the pickup armature. 
These later heads should give no trouble, however, if your observations are to the 
contrary a report should be promptly made. 

 

The improved head may be identified by inspection of the armature and centering 
spring arrangement.   The spring is looped around the armature and its end hooked 
around its straight portion. 

 

When unstable adjustment is obtained with the original type of pickup the complete 
head should be replaced with one of the later improved type.   The original heads 
should be accumulated for return to Camden on a Field Removal Tag for credit.
