    General Description: The turntable is packed in three boxes. Some parts are very heavy so handle boxes with care . The base is of solid brass which is clamped together from two pieces and has good damping properties. The main sha ft, which is 28 mm in diameter, is fixed into this base.

    Mainentance: Mat: The top surface of the mat can be cleaned using a roller textile cleaner. Bearing: Oil in the bearing will last for 3-4 years or more. Running the bearing without oil will do no harm due to the choice of materials and type of construction. Oil should be added if the top reservoir (with ruby ball ) is totally dry.
