- Page 4 3 legs are screwed to the underside of the ground panel. On the top of the ground panel you’ll find labels to be shown up.
- Page 5 Screw in threaded bolts.
- Page 6 Mount one leg to the lower right. 2nd leg one hole upper left. Screw with spacers.
- Page 7 Screw in the 3rd leg. 3 legs are now triangular arranged.
- Page 8 The table is carefully set upright. Now the feet of the 3 legs are screwed out by 8 mm. Put the coasters under the 3 feet.
- Page 9 Now the device sits on the coasters. Now screw the other 5 legs. Put the coasters under the legs.
- Page 10 Only 3 legs out of 8 must stand on the ground floor. (foto 18) The device is horizontelly aligned by these 3 legs. The level is used laterally and longitudinally.
- Page 11 The device is now only aligned on 3 legs and the other 5 legs are free-hanging. The toolbox is put on centered.
- Page 12 Open the toolbox. (Screw out 2 screws) Take out the tool.
- Page 13 Close the toolbox. Screw in 4 threaded brass bolts.
- Page 14 Put the black panel onto the threaded brass bolts. Watch the labels (front and top). Screw in all 4 Allen bolts...
- Page 15 Tighten screws slightly with Allen key. Put the final caps onto the 4 threaded brass bolts. (fotos 27 & 28)
- Page 16 4 final caps screwed. Screw in 4 threaded brass bolts into the black panel.
- Page 17 The eggiplates are put onto the threaded brass bolts. The outer line of the eggiplates should be aligned with the spacers below for optical reasons. A spacer is put onto the carrier bolt. (front left) rear right left right left front...
- Page 18 Screw tightly the carrier bolt with the awl. Rear on the right a carrier bolt with ceramic ball is screwed by an awl. Don’t forget the spacer! rear right left right left front...
- Page 19 Mount the alignment bolts front right and left. Put off the alignment cap from the bolt. Now screw the alignment bolt on the eggiplate. The curved outer line of the eggiplate should be aligned with the spacers below for optical reasons.
- Page 20 With the use of an awl the alignment bolts are tightened. Put the alignment bolt onto the spacer. The alignment cap is now screwed.
- Page 21 Set up of the drive unit Carrier unit for drive unit. 4 spacers are screwed on the drive unit carrier panel.
- Page 22 The drive unit carrier panel is put centered onto the toolbox in the table unit.
- Page 23 Align a spike to the center rear. Spike approx. 15 mm high. Place the drive unit on the drive unit carrier panel. The spikes fit into the nudge of the drive unit.
- Page 24 Make sure to align the power supply cable to the rear. Lift the upper bearing part up. Let all of the special oil run in the bearing over the axis.
- Page 25 Let the upper bearing parts easily down.
- Page 26 Put on the 3 drive belts.
- Page 27 The drive disc is put onto the drive unit. The drive carrier panel is put onto the spacers with marking facing backwards. Make sure to position the marking of the drive carrier panel facing backwards.
- Page 28 The disc drive carrier panel is screwed with 4 Allen screws. Put the Cardan ring aligned centered. Let the Cardan ring slide exactly over the carrier bolts.
- Page 29 Align the drive carrier panel centered (easily movable)
- Page 30 The tonearm base ring is positioned. Let the tonearm base ring slide exactly over the carrier bolts.
- Page 31 Now move the drive carrier panel so the Allen screws can be easily screwed in. The 4 screws are now put in by hand. When the screws grab, screw them in with the Allen key by turning them half a turn alternatingly.
- Page 32 The 4 final caps are positioned. Pull out the toolbox.
- Page 33 Under the carrier panel the 3 spikes are screwed out (foto 50) so that the drive unit only rests on the rubber dampers (the 3 Spikes are only for centering). The ground bearing for the platter bearing is now lowered.
- Page 34 A small gap between drive disc and lower drive unit becomes visible. Only by the force of magnetism the drive disc is powered.
- Page 35 Let all of the special oil run in the bearing over the axis. Let the upper bearing unit slide down over the axis (the magnets with their isolation can be seen).
