NOTICE!
Risk of antenna collision with the turntable's crank. If the antenna arm is
at an elevation below 160° (maximum is 165°), rotation of the turntable can cause
the turntable's crank to collide with the antenna. Such a collision typically destroys
the antenna.
Make sure that the turntable's crank is removed; see
