polishes as they leave light scratching or bloom.
The deck is not prone to going out of tune:
Check that the sub-chassis curved damper is
tensioned lightly onto the plate every 2 years or so as the
damper can compress a little over time.
Check belt tension is correct using the method
described for final pod positioning. All belts stretch over
the years so the motor pod may need to be moved out
further than the initially specified 227mm maximum.
Depending on your use of the deck, the belt should
ideally be replaced every 2 to 4 years.
Only use Origin Live oil. Oil should be replaced every 3
to 4 years so you will need to clean out the old oil with a
lint free paper towel or similar wrapped around a thin
rod. When you do this, be sure to also wipe oil off the
spindle as this may contain microscopic contamination
that's not visible.
If you ever withdraw the main spindle you should put a
few drops of oil into the bearing house to compensate for
any possible loss occuring in the withdrawal.
Never tamper with the bolt in the bottom of the bearing
or oil leaks will occur and you will probably not succeed
in re-tightening it.
Many of the mats on the market have been tried on our
platters and do not work so we recommend saving
yourself the expense of trying them.
