MAINTENANCE

As the Transcriptor Skeleton Turntable is virtually
maintenance free, only a periodic inspection of the main
drive belt and center bearing is necessary. Remove the
switch plate and belt, then remove the platter assembly
being careful not to damage the tone arm. Use caution not
to lose the ball bearing which may come out attached to
the lower end of the spindle. Inspect the bearing shaft for
dirt or signs of scoring; clean with a soft rag and any
alcohol based cleaner. Remove the lower cap on the
bearing housing and remove the old oil from inside. With a
cotton swab, clean out the inside walls of the bearing
housing; then re-lubricate the shaft and the thrust plate
with a very small amount of light weight phono oil. (Do not
use 3 in 1 oil.) Reassemble the thrust plate and cap and
install the ball bearing from the top of the bearing housing,
and install the platter. If the belt or any other of the parts
show signs of wear, replace. Your local dealer can supply
any part necessary, or contact the importer, whose name
appears in the front of this book.
