Making a Belt

Loop a long length of 0.004" polyester monofilament around the thumbtack. Tie a simple double
overhand knot around the pin. Remove the pin and tighten the knot. Hold knot with thumbnail and
pull on excess. Cut off excess leaving 10mm (minimum) tails.

Troubleshooting

1. In the unlikely event that you wish to remove the tonearm, the golf ball can be lifted clear of the
fluid, and left to drain. Surplus fluids may then be wiped from the golf ball with a paper towel.
2. Rubbing alcohol of 70% or above proof will remove all traces of fluid. All paper towels must be im-
mediately discarded in a suitable receptacle. We also have it on good authority that Vodka of the
highest proof can be pressed into service if rubbing alcohol is unavailable. Our chief designer also
uses "Ronsonol" brand cigarette lighter fluid with excellent results. This is also known in some coun-
tries as white spirits or white gas. We suggest you first try cleaning fluid with caution and or the
underside of the plinth. 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.
4. For cartridges without threaded fixing holes we find it most convenient to attach the cartridge to the
head shell in the slot closest to the platter. The other screw with the optional finger lift attached can
then be passed through the head shell and remaining cartridge hole. A small "popsicle" stick or simi-
lar with a piece of double backed sticky tape on the end is invaluable. Just place the remaining car-
tridge nut on the tape at the end of the stick under the protruding screw and tighten.
Note: Some cartridges may necessitate the shortening of the Nylon bridle that suspends the Golf
Ball. This can easily be achieved by the removal of one of the small plastic tubes that the Nylon
passes through. Removal of this tube will allow excess nylon to be pulled through the tube when the
correct height is obtained the tube can be re-inserted and the excess Nylon removed with a sharp
craft knife. See Fig (22).
