Assembling the turntable (part 1)
1. Unwrap the base unit, taking care not to put pressure on the tone-arm
or the cueing lever.
2.
Do not assemble the platter onto the base just yet.
There is
less chance of damage to the cartridge and stylus if the tone-arm is
assembled and balanced first.
3. Ensure that the tone-arm is locked on its rest with the securing clip.
4. Take the head-shell and identify the locating pin on the head-shell
connector.
Do not remove the stylus cover at this time.
5. Align the locating pin on the head-shell connector with the slot in the
socket at the end of the tone-arm.
6. Gently push the head-shell into the tone-arm, at the same time rotate
the locking ring at the end of the tone-arm to pull the two parts together.
Note that the locking ring rotates anti-clockwise when viewed from the
front.
7. Tighten the locking ring gently by hand. Do not apply force or use any
tools.
8. Slide the counterweight on to the tone-arm, rotating it clockwise when
viewed from the rear until it engages and some slight resistance is
felt.
Note that the scale on the counterweight rotates freely. The
counterweight itself must be rotated in order to engage correctly with
the tone-arm.
