Service Adjustments
Speed:
Should the speed vary during the playing of a record, make sure that it is not due to record slip
caused by warped records. Next remove the turntable and examine the motor pulley, intermediate
wheel and inside of turntable rim for traces of oil. Wipe all driving surfaces with a clean cloth
before replacing turntable. Check that the rubber intermediate wheel runs in the centre of the
appropriate step on the motor pulley and is not rubbing the side of the adjacent step. If necessary-
loosen the screws holding the pulley to the motor shaft and move pulley to its correct position.
Motor:
Should the motor, if dual range, run too hot or be too weak to operate the changer, disconnect
the power supply and check that the links in the voltage changeover block are correctly placed to
correspond with the voltage of the power supply. Details are given on cover of block.
Check that the links are tight. Should the motor run consistently too fast or slow, check that the
motor pulley is correct for the frequency of the power supply. The pulley is colour finished, nickel
for 50 cycles and brass for 60 cycle power supply.
Pickup dropping position:
The pickup arm dropping position is set for optimum accuracy. Should however, any minor adjust-
ment be required, lift the pickup arm which will reveal a horizontal screw (covered by a spring).
The slotted head of this screw should be turned to obtain adjustment, clockwise to move arm in and
counterclockwise to move arm outward.
Pickup height:
The height of the pickup lift can be adjusted by turning the small screw accessible on top of the
rear of the pickup arm. The height should be adjusted so that the pickup stylus point is 1" above
the turntable surface as the pickup returns to its rest.
Stylus pressure:
The stylus pressure should be that recommended by the pickup manufacturer but in any case
should not exceed 10 grammes. It is recommended that a periodical check be made, preferably with
a Garrard stylus pressure gauge, to see that the correct pressure is maintained. To adjust the
stylus pressure, turn the serrated projection on top of the rear of the pickup arm, clockwise to
increase and counterclockwise to reduce stylus pressure.
Pickup:
Replace stylus when worn and keep free from accumulated dust.
