- Page 3 Step 1 Carefully remove the turntable from the packaging, taking care to remove the protective card and dressing which has been placed under the suspension and around the bearing to protect the product during transport. Place the upper and lower plinth on a clean, flat surface that is free from vibration. Ideally this would be a pre-leveled audio table such as the Circle stand that has been designed for highly sensitive source equipment.
- Page 4 Step 4 Thread the tonearm lead through the hole in the arm hub. This can only be achieved by threading one plug at a time. Be very careful not to damage the arm hub with the phono plugs on the end of the lead. Step 5 Insert the tonearm into the arm hub.
- Page 5 Step 7 With one M3 cartridge screw, inserted through one M3 washer in one hand, and the cartridge in the other. Thread the screw from above through one of the slots in the end of the tonearm. The end of this screw should then be screwed into the corresponding hole in the upper face of the cartridge body.

- Page 6 Step 9 (Nanotube One only) The Nanotube One counter balance comes with the beam in place as part of the design and should be carefully screwed with the lightest of pressure. The grub screw is located on the side of the bearing housing that is out of view, adjacent to the anti-skate beam.
- Page 7 Step 12 If you are fitting an A.C.T. 25 or Nanotube One the next step is to thread the anti-skate weight through the hole in the anti-skate beam. Step 13 Slide one rubber ‘O’ ring down the bias arm and then follow this with the anti-skate loop and the second ‘O’ ring to hold this in place. Step 14 If you are fitting an A.C.T. 25 tonearm, the anti skate is set as follows: Each groove groove on the bias arm corresponds to an increase of 0.5 grams in cartridge weight (starting from the bearing housing as shown in the diagram below).
- Page 8 Step 14 (Nanotube One only) If you are fitting a Nanotube One then a rule should be used to set the correct bias. The measurement should be taken from the nearside of the bearing housing or “egg” as shown in the table below. The thread should be held by the rubber O-rings to prevent the position changing.

Page 9: General Maintenance
Under normal circumstances the motor will last for tens of years. As long as the drive pulleys and belt are clean the stability and function of the system will be completely consistent year after year. To clean these items use a cleaning product like pure alcohol. This will remove any grease that may have built up from the atmosphere. A soft brush, such as a calligraphy brush can also be used to clean the Circle 25 and tonearm, taking great care not to scratch any elements. - Page 10 Wilson Benesch Dealer Technician or a service or repair centre authorised by Wilson Benesch to service or repair the product.
