Introduction
We're really pleased that you have chosen Spinstand. Spinstand is perfectly
matched to Spinbase, but may also be used with the Andover Model-One, or any
audio component smaller than 18" x 13.5" on the top shelf. It will provide a solid
and stable platform suitable for vinyl record playback.
Spinstand will acommodate up to approximately 150 records on its two lower
Melamine shelves. (Actual number will be less for double records or those with
gatefold covers)
You may assemble Spinstand with either three or four shelves in case you prefer
the lower profile or you do not require the additional shelf for accessories.

Assembly
1. Locate the Top Shelf (Item 1) and place it top-down on a soft surface. The holes in
the corners of the shelf are closer to the back edge than to the front edge. Orient the
top shelf so that the wider border (Front) is towards you .
2. Install the Headphone Hanger (Item 13) using the two screws (Item 14). Align the
Headphone hanger with the pilot holes corresponding to the side of the stand you

4. Place a panel nut (Item 7) in each
of the four corners facing upwards
as shown in the diagram.
5. Attach a Threaded Rod onto each
of the four Panel Nuts and tight-
en firmly using the Allen Wrench
supplied (Item 19). For the typical
4-shelf assembly, use the Short
Rods (Item 15). If you prefer the
3-shelf option, use the Medium
Rods (Item 16), and proceed di-
rectly to Step 9.
6. Attach a Coupler (Item 8) to each of
the four Threaded Rods.
7. Attach a Medium Rod (Item 16) to

12. Slide the Middle Shelf (Item 3) over the
threaded rods making sure the edge

6) over each rod assembly and carefully Spacing
align each pillar in the square recess cut
in the shelf.

shelf .
15. Place a Washer (Item 10) on each rod,
followed by a Hex Nut (Item 11 ). Snug it
up but don't tighten it.
16. Carefully align each Pillar such that they
fit securely into the mating recesses in
the shelves. Once everything is aligned,
tighten the nuts firmly using the suppled
wrench (Item 25). Hold the panel nuts
(Item 7) with the Allen Wrench (Item
19). Important: Make sure all the pillars
are correctly aligned with the square
pockets in the shelves or the stand will

Anti-Tip Kit installation
IMPORTANT NOTE: An Anti-Tip Strap is
included with your Spinstand . Please use it
whenever Spinstand is installed in a location
where it may tip and cause physical harm .
Drywall inserts {Item 23) and screws {Item
22) are included with this kit, but may not
be suitable for every type of wall. It is your
responsibility to supply wall mounting
hardware suitable for the specific wall con-
struction of your home. It is best to l ocate
the Spinstand such that the Anti - Tip bracket
may be screwed directly into a wall stud
whenever possible.
1. Once Spinstand is in position, locate
the second Bracket (Item 20} at the
approximate height of the top shelf and
centered relative to the stand. Mark the
location of the two screw holes with a
pencil.
2. Drill suitable pilot holes for your pre-
ferred wall anchors at the marked posi-
tions .If you use the anchors we supply,
use 1/4" drill bit. Install the anchors and
attach the remaining bracket. Anchors
are not needed if the bracket can be
attached to a stud. An 1/8" drill should
be used for pilot holes in a stud.
3. Loop the Anti-Tip strap {Item 24}
through both brackets and insert the tip
of the strap through the latching end,
forming a closed loop. Check to make
sure the latch is secure and will not slip
open.
