DESCRIPTION
•
The Turntable is not levelled
•
The Turntable is not levelled
•
VTA tone arm is not adjustable
•
The Turntable is dirty and needs
to be cleaned
CAUSE
•
AC synchronous motors as the
ones used by Gold Note normally warms up
to 50° Celsius without creating any problem
•
The pulley's shaft slightly touches
the motor chromed plated cover
•
The 3 stainless steel screws of the
gold plated motor cover are too tighten
•
The pressure created by the strict
tolerance of the Bearing/Spindle system can
let some oil drops come out from the bottom
of the Platter Bearing
•
Clamp the Split-Spindle tip into
the platter threading it using a metal pin to
get into the tip hole
•
The Turntable CAN NOT makes
any noise hearable into the speaker by itself
•
The 3 stainless steel screws of the
metal motor cover are too tighten
•
through its shelf layer eventually screwing its feet just for very
fine adjustment, take care of levelling the platter on its vertical
and horizontal lines
•
rigid to support the weight of the turntable easily
•
collar too much and do not let the arm shaft gets in it; unscrew
the hex bolts before inserting the arm
•
cotton cloth to sweep dust and stains out.
Any acid or not extremely soft cloth will irreversibly damage the
turntable fine aesthetic.
Do not use any alcohol to clean the turntable anodised label,
pulley and motor spindle. Only dry cloth is allowed
REMEDY
•
Gently lift the pulley up a bit
•
Unscrew them enough to let the
motor spins without making noise, they
need just to be very gently screwed to the
motor cover
•
Clean it up, the oil will never
comes out again once the Platter spindle is
perfectly positioned into the Platter
Bearing
•
•
Eventually a tone arm cable
problem can occur; please check other
ways out

Unscrew them enough to let the
motor spins without making noise, they
need just to be very gently screwed to the
motor cover
