retaining studs projecting from the
turntable. Do not twist belt. On the top
surface of the platter there are two indi¬
cators (Fig. F. These indicators line up
with the two studs. When re-installing the
platter, locate the turntable so that the
indicator for the stud retaining the belt
is facing your left (parallel to front of

In rare instances, when very deep
or very shallow cartridges are used,
adjustment may have to be performed
to the pickup height. This adjustment
controls the amount of lift to the
tonearm in both automatic play and
manual cueing. The stylus should lift
high enough to clear six records and
the tonearm extension. If adjusted too
high, the top of the shell will touch the
bottom record on the stack. Turning
the adjusting screw (Fig. B) counter¬
clockwise will raise the tonearm;
clockwise rotation will lower the tonearm.
