INSTRUCTIONS
Introduction
Manufacture of Series II Precision Pick-up Arms ended
in 1972. In response to many requests to reintroduce
them for professional and enthusiast hi-fi application
we have
produced the Models 3012-R, 3010-R and
3009-R.
They are basically similar to their classic
predecessors but with important refinements includ-
ing:—
Thin walled stainless steel tone-arm.
New
design balance system with longitudinal and
lateral fine adjustment for cartridges weighing from
14-26 grams or plug-in heads up to 33/2 grams.
Extra-rigid low mass shell with double draw-in pins.
Geometry optimised for 12" records.
These
arms
are suitable for all cartridges
having
standard 2" fixing centres and a minimum vertical
tracking force requirement of 1.25 grams. Below this
the use of one of our Series Ill arms is recommended.
Please read this instruction book carefully before
attempting installation and use.
Following a policy of continuous improvement
we
reserve the right of any consequential departure from
illustration or specification.
