USE OF THE CUEING LEVER
This lever, located immediately above the 33
SPEED CONTROL knob, is convenient when rais-
ing and lowering the tonearm and cartridges for
brief interuptions to record audition.
1. If the cueing lever is turned to the UP
ition during record audition, the turntable will
continue to turn, but the tonearm will be lifted
off the record, and audition will be interupted.
2. If you later wish to continue with audition,
return the cueing lever to the DOWN
tion, and audition will re-commence. This lever
should be operated gently, so that the stylus is
not abrupted dropped onto the record. Do not
leave it at intermediate positions.
3. If you later decide that you no longer wish to
listen to the record you have interupted, press
the PLAY/CUT push-button. The tonearm will
return to its rest and the motor will be switched
off. You must remember, however, to re-set the
cueing lever to the DOWN
the next record audition.

CARTRIDGE STYLUS REPLACEMENT
A worn stylus can cause permanent damage to
precious records long before the sound quality
has seriously deteriorated. The only safe rule is
to change your stylus in good time. Follow the
maker's recommendations carefully. As a general
guide, even a diamond stylus will only give sat-
pos-
isfactory service for some 200 to 300 hours. It
is wise to check the tonearm balance, the track-
ing force, and the inside canceler settings, if the
stylus is replaced.

Changing cartridges can be a fascinating way of
increasing your enjoyment of records. Many fans
own several, for various types of music and/or
mood.
Changing cartridges is considerably simplified
if you fit the cartridges to spare headshells. You
must ensure that the overhang distance is cor-
position, ready for
rectly adjusted. If you also make the weights of
your two (or more) cartridge/headshell assem-
blies the same, by adding the small lead weights
sold by some makers fot this purpose, you may be
able to avoid the repeated readjustment of tone-
arm balance.
