PS-X6/X7
The
PS-X6
and
PS-X7
are
a
full-automatic
turn-
table
system,
which
means
that
the
tonearm
will
move
across
to
the
record
and
commence
to
play,
and
then
return
to
the
arm
rest
again
after
the
completion
of
the
record,
simply
by
the
operation
of
control
buttons.
This
cycle
of
operations
is
per-
formed
by
the
transfer
of
a
series
of
changes
from
the
main
gear
cam
to
the
main
lever.
This
series
of
changes
is
described
below.

That
is,
this
position
determines
the
distance

by
the
lead-in

which
consequently
determines
the
rotational
angle
of
the
brake
drum
(and
of
the

as
well).
With
the

set
to

the
lead-in

moves
a
little

the

The
attaching

not
positioned
at
a
center
of
the

the

While
the

are
in
the
positions
as
shown
in

or
if

Brake
Mechanism
(Operation
of

A
fixed
amount
of
braking
is
applied
to
the
brake
drum
in
order
to
assure
smooth
travel
of
the
tonearm
during
both
lead-in
and
return.
Furthermore,
a
spring
is
also
employed
to
exert
pressure
upon
the
main
lever
in
the
direction
of
arrow
(see
Fig.
1-8),
thus

Record

Mechanism
(Luminous

Record
End
Detector
Mechanism)
(see
Figs.
1-9
and
1-10)
This
record
end
detector
mechanism
consists
of
a
lamp,
a
photo-conductor
(CdS),
and
a
shutter
connected
to
the
shaft
of
the
tonearm.
Changes
in
position
of
the
shutter
(due
to
the
gradual
inward
movement
of
the
tonearm)
results
in
changes
in
the
amount
of
light
received
by
the
photosensitive
element.
When
the
stylus
runs
in
the
lead-out
groove
of
the
record,
the
tonearm
suddenly
moves
across
by
a
relatively
larger
amount,
resulting
in
a
sudden
increase
in
the
amount
of
light
striking
the
photo-
sensitive
element,
exceeding
a
preset
value.
An
electronic
circuit
is
consequently
activated,
resulting
in
current
flowing
through
the
solenoid.
