It will be much easier to attach wires and get the mounting screws threaded while the arm is free and on its back. Get the screws just snug enough to hold the cartridge in place but loose enough so that you can move it when you are lining things up with the protractor. -

What about the plinth A plinth is supplied with each table. In the case of the Space Deck and the Horizon this is done to supply a platform with a predictable behavior. It is possible to use the tables without the plinth, but be careful! As we mentioned in the section above, many things that claim to do a “better”... -

The supply waveform does not now have a clean sinusoidal shape, but shows drastically clipped peaks –...

Questions and answers
почему нельзя регулировать винт на тонарме
The screw on the tonearm of the Nottingham Analogue Studio Deco can't be adjusted easily once the oil is added to the bearing well, because adjusting the tonearm position may require removing the platter and repositioning the arm and arm pod. This is easier to do before adding oil.
