2. HORIZONTAL ADJUSTMENT: A free and neutral
swing of the tone arm in the horizontal is ESSENTIAL to
the correct operation of the Vestigial arm. With the stylus
resting at the beginning of the record, adjust the upper
and lower leveling screws (1 & 3) to bring the arm
tube approximately parallel to the record surface when
viewed from the side. Note that both of the leveling
screws must be loosened before either can effect the
adjustment. Now adjust the counterweight (17) to a
negative pressure, so the stylus does not contact the
record. If the arm has a tendency to swing inward or out-
ward, adjust the neutral swing screw (11) to eliminate this
tendency. Then recheck the arm tube to make sure it is
still parallel with the record. It may be necessary to adjust
the upper & lower leveling screws slightly to obtain a
neutral swing of the arm if a neutral swing cannot be
obtained with the neutral swing screw alone.
3. HEIGHT ADJUSTMENT: Once again, add weight
to the cartridge so the stylus is in contact with the record,
loosen the height adjustment screw (7) and adjust the
height of the arm until the cartridge platform (23) is
parallel to the record surface.
4.
OVERSHOOT ADJUSTMENT: Adjust the overshoot
screw (12) to allow the stylus to freely track the lead out
grooves, but limit travel so not to track onto the record
label. This is a very fine adjustment. Only a small turn on
the screw will severely effect the movement of the arm.
OVERTIGHTENING, OR ABUSIVE USE OF ANY OF THE ARM
ADJUSTMENTS WILL DAMAGE THE HORIZONTAL PIVOTS.
DO NOT SECURE THE ARM BY THIS METHOD FOR TRANS-
PORTING. DAMAGE OF THE PIVOTS FROM THE ABOVE
MISUSE WILL NOT BE COVERED UNDER THE WARRANTY.
