unit should require, apart from replacing the belt, (See Page 15
on routine maintenance).
The drive belt may now be attached, as shown on the illustration,
and the top plate may be resecured. After fitting a suitable plug to
the mains lead, the unit is ready to operate.
Operation is simple, merely turn the on-off switch in either
direction until the platter rotates. To change speed, pull the speed
change knob up to operate 33 R.P.M., push it down to obtain 45
R.P.M.
Now set up the arm as per the instructions starting on
the next page.
Once the arm is set up, clean and replace the glass sides and the
four thumbscrews under the glass base. Remember that the two
thumbscrews with rubber feet belong under the FRONT posts.
Remove the two hinge pins, from the two rear posts and pass
them through the holes on the side of the hinge blocks attached
to the dust cover, and screw into the two rear posts. Use caution
not to cross-thread the hinge pins.
Note that the hinge stay mechanism is spring loaded. On opening
the lid, the stay will automatically follow the lid and slip into place
into the slot in the left hand hinge block. To lower the lid, lift the
lid slightly, lower the stay until it clears the slot, then lower the lid.
A sparkling Skeleton turntable makes a gratifying sight. The glass
should be cleaned with water or a suitable glass cleaner. Once
cleaned the glass remains clean for a long period, unlike plastic
substitutes. Do not use metal polish, this is abrasive, and can
remove plated and anodised surfaces.
