Service Adjustments
Speed:
Should the speed vary during the playing ofa record,makesurethat it is notdueto record slip
caused by warpedrecords. Next remove the turntable and examine the motor pulley, intermediate
wheel and inside of turntable rimfor traces of oil. Wipe all drivingsurfaceswith a cleancloth
before replacing turntable. Checkthat the rubber intermediate wheel runs inthe centre of the
appropriate step onthe motor pulley andisnot rubbing the side ofthe adjacent step. If necessary-
loosen the screws holding the pulley tothe motor shaft and move pulley toits correctposition.
Motor:
Should the motor, if dual range, runtoohotorbetoo weak to operate the changer,disconnect
the power supply and check that the links inthe voltagechangeoverblock are correctlyplaced to
correspond with the voltage ofthe power supply. Details are given on cover of block.
Checkthat the links are tight.Should the motor run consistently too fast or slow,check that the
motor pulley is correct forthe frequency ofthe powersupply. The pulley is colour finished, nickel
for 50 cycles and brass for60 cycle powersupply.
Pickup dropping position:
The pickup arm dropping position issetfor optimumaccuracy.Should however, any minor adjust-
ment be required, lift the pickup arm which will reveal a horizontalscrew(covered bya spring).
The slotted head of thisscrewshould be turned to obtain adjustment, clockwise to move arminand
counterclockwise to move arm outward.
Pickup height:
The height ofthe pickup lift canbe adjusted by turning the smallscrewaccessible ontopofthe
rear ofthe pickup arm. The height should be adjusted so that the pickupstyluspoint is1" above
the turntable surface asthe pickupreturns toits rest.
