Adapting
for
other power
frequency
To
adapt
the unit
for
use
at a
different
power-line frequency
is
accomplished
by
changing
the
motor pulley
(A),
which
is
secured
to
the
motor shaft
6y a screw
and
can
be
reached
by
removing
the
turntable
platter.
Fig.21
Caution: Handle
the
motor pulley carefully.
A
bent pulley causes
rumble.

Removing
the turntable platter
The platter
is
secured
by
a
C-ring
seated
in
a
notch
on
the
turntable
shaft. Use
a
screwdriver
to
remove
the C-ring, then lift
off
the
platter.
Fig

r
lmportant: When handling
the platter
avoid
touching
the inner
surf
aces
with
your
fingers
as
skin
oils
can
cause
slippage
(and resulting pitch
deviation)
between
the
idler
wheel
and
the
driving
rim
of
the
platter.
Adjusting
tonearm
set-down position
With
automatic
start,
the
stylus
descends
automatically
into
the outer
groove
of
the
record.
lt
is
possible, due
to
peculiarities
in
the
mounting
of a
cartridge,
that
the
stylus may land
too
far in or
too
fat
out
on the
record.
Fig.23
ln
that
case,
set the
record size
selector
for
a
12" record
(30 cm). Through
the
hole
next
to
the
tonearm rest,
you
will
see
an
adjustment
screw
@.
lf
the
stylus
lands
too
far
into
the
record,
turn
the
screw
very
slightly
to
the left;
if it
lands
too
close
to
the
edge,
turn
it
slightly
to
the
right.
