socket. Please retain all original packaging. You will need it
if our turntable needs to be transported or shipped.
Assembly
Since this turntable is delivered in a pre-configured state,
onl ver few steps need to be undertaken before pla ing a
record. The turntable weighs approximatel 10 kg, so
before unpacking and setting up the turntable, make sure
that the place where it is to sit is able to handle the weight.
First take the base with the bearing out of the packaging
and place them where the are to be used.
Now remove the sleeve over the bearing and appl some oil
from the supplied oil dispenser around the axle of the
bearing. Make sure the ceramic ball and the axle are coated
with oil, too (picture 2). The bearing sleeves can then be
put back on the axle. Since it is an open, inverted bearing,
it will be constantl lubricated b capillar action.
The acr lic platter can then be placed carefull over the
bearing recess and allowed to glide slowl down the axle,
helping it along b rotating it gentl .
The motor module contains a high-precision DC motor for
string drive (using fine n lon thread).
Please cut off a piece of thread of sufficient length. The two
ends should then be placed together and tied with an
ordinar knot. This length is then threaded around the
pulle and platter (following the groove on the pulle ) and
tautened b moving the motor outwards, awa from the
turntable.
Now the power suppl can be plugged into the mains socket
on the back of the motor unit. When the three-position
switch is in the centre position, the motor is switched off.
The left-hand position causes records to pla at 33.3 rpm,
which can be finel adjusted b means of the left-hand
potentiometer. In the right-hand position, a similar
adjustment can be made with the right-hand potentiometer
for pla ing at 45 rpm.

Precise speed can be set with the aid of the supplied
stroboscope disc. The disc should be illuminated with a
mains-powered lamp (50 Hz) and the speed can then be set
with the appropriate potentiometer. The best lamps to use
for this are neon or energ -saving fluorescent lamps. These
provide for a generall clear image of the strips on the
stroboscope disc.
