Troubleshooting
1. In the unlikely event that you wish to remove the Symmetrex tonearm, the golf ball can be lifted clear of the
fluid, and left to drain. Surplus fluids may then be wiped from the golf ball with a paper towel.
2. Rubbing alcohol of 70% or above proof will remove all traces of fluid. All paper towels must be immediately
discarded in a suitable receptacle. We also have it on good authority that Vodka of the highest proof can be
pressed into service if rubbing alcohol is unavailable. Our chief designer also uses Ronsonol brand cigarette
lighter fluid with excellent results. This is also known in some countries as white spirits or white gas. We
suggest you first try cleaning fluid with caution and or the
underside of the plinth. The Well Tempered Lab can bear no responsibility for damage caused by cleaning fluid.
3. For cartridges without threaded fixing holes we find it most convenient to attach the cartridge to the head
shell in the slot closest to the platter. The other screw with the optional finger lift attached can then be passed
through the head shell and remaining cartridge hole. A small "popsicle" stick or similar with a piece of double
backed sticky tape on the end is invaluable. Just place the remaining cartridge nut on the tape at the end of the
stick under the protruding screw and tighten.
Note: Some cartridges may necessitate the shortening of the Nylon bridle that suspends the Golf Ball. This can
easily be achieved by the removal of one of the small plastic tubes that the Nylon passes through. Removal of
this tube will allow excess nylon to be pulled through the tube when the correct height is obtained the tube can
be re-inserted and the excess Nylon removed with a sharp craft knife. See Fig (7).
