  • Page 2: Table Of Contents

    Preliminary Before embarking on the relatively simple process of assembling the Amadeus, please take the time to fully read these instructions and follow the steps within. The old adage of "if all else fails read the instruction manual" needs to be applied from the onset. The Well Tempered Lab cannot be held responsible for consequences resulting from the failure to comprehend these instructions.

  • Page 3: Unpacking The Amadeus

    We recommend the use of the white gloves provided when handling the plinth and platter assem- blies. Take care that none of the fluids contaminate the finished surfaces of your Amadeus. The Amadeus packaging has been designed to protect it from the hazards of shipping. It is advisable to save it for further use. Assembly For ease of assembly we recommend a flat work surface, such as a table or bench.

See Fig (3) Fig (3) Suspending the Tonearm Before embarking on this procedure, we suggest a review of the manual from Fig (4) - (13) is manda- tory. 1. Coarse azimuth adjustment if necessary can be achieved by rotating the tonearm within the golf ball.
  • Page 5 2. With a small amount of care take tonearm and apply one and a half turns of the nylon suspension from the golf ball around the azimuth adjustment collar. See Fig (5). Fig (5) 3. Correct bridle length when tonearm is suspended is approximately 25mm from top of tonearm to bottom of suspension rod.

    Important: The unique design of the zero clearance Well Tempered Lab top bearing allows the spin- dle to be virtually “free standing”. It is perfectly normal for the platter to tilt away from the motor when the belt has not been installed.

  • Page 14: Making A Belt

    The Well Tempered Lab can bear no responsibility for damage caused by cleaning fluid. 3. Well Tempered Lab belts are easily lost. We recommend placing or hanging on a dark back- ground, when not on the turntable.
  • Page 15 Fig (22) 5. The Amadeus motor has bearing tolerances that cause it to be noisy without the load of the belt and platter. It is sometimes possible during transit for the motor to shift within the isolating rubber mounting and vibrate against the motor mounting cover. This is easily remedied by gently moving the motor clear of the mounting cover plate.
