its springs, these leads, if too rigid, will transmit the motor
vibration to the cabinet and so be reproduced.
Should the motor fail to start on switching on,
first make sure that the power supply is reaching the ter
minals in the terminal block. If found to be correct
switch off at the power supply then check that the
voltage range change over links are tight, also remove the
switch cover and check that the switch contact moves each
of the two switch blades as it moves between them when
switching on. The switch blades and the contact should be
thoroughly cleaned and a faint trace of vaseline placed
on each of the two blades before replacing the cover.
Should the motor still fail to start check the circuit
of the coils. The total resistance should be 460 ohms if set
on the 200 to 250 volt range or 115 ohms on the 100 to
130 volt range.
If the turntable continues to revolve for several
revolutions after switching off by means of the switch on
the unit, the turntable brake pad probably needs adjust
ing. To make this adjustment, remove the turntable as
described on page 12, loosen the turntable brake adjusting
screw. Diagram 5, move the brake a small amount out
ward toward the rim and retighten the screw. Make sure
that the brake is not set too far out because it can prevent
the switch breaking contact if so set.
