Checking
and
Adjusting
the
Turntable
Speed
1.
Place
the
stroboscope
(round
aluminium
disc
with
three
rings
of
dark
and
light
stripes),
that
is
provided
with
each
unit,
on
the
turntable.
2,
Start
the
motor
and
illuminate
the
stroboscope
with
a
light
from
a
lamp
connected
to
the
mains.
It
Is
suggested
that
the
room
be
darkened
to
facilitate
the
setting.
If
the
speed
setting
of
the
speed
control
lever
is
correct,
then
all
the
da
lines
on
the
ring
for
the
corresponding
speed
on
the
stroboscope
will
appear
to
stand
still.
If
how-
ever
they
move,
then
it
is
a
sign
that
the
speed
setting
has
altered.
The
speed
can
easily
be
cor-
rected
by
lifting
the
speed
control
lever
out
of
its
catch
and
moving
it
slightly
to
either
right
or
left.
When
the
speed
is
correct
the
stripes
on
the
‘stroboscope
will
appear
to
stand
still.
If
an
inten-
tional
deviation
from
the
pre-set
speed
is
requi-
red
(e.
g.
if
a
musical
instrument
is
being
played
and
the
pitch
of
the
record
is
to
be
adjusted
to
that
of
the
instrument),
then
the
speed
can
be
altered
in
the
same
way.
If
the
speed
is
to
be
re-
set,
i.
@.
a
re-adjustment
of
the
catch
for
the
cor-
responding
speed
is
required,
then
the
following
procedure
should
be
adopted:
)
Loosen
slightly
(not
more
than
two
turns)
the
screw
at
the
side
of
the
corresponding
catch.
b)
Set
the
speed
change
lever
in
the
catch
and
adjust
the
speed
until
the
correct
speed
is
reached.
©)
Carefully
lift
the
speed
change
lever
out
of
the
catch
without
altering
the
position
of
the
catch,
and
re-tighten
the
screw.
Maintenance
The
bearing
points
which
are
to
be
found
on
the
machine
require
no
maintenance.
To
remove
cling-
ing
dust
or
hairs,
the
point
of
the
needle should
be
cleaned
with
a
soft
brush
after
each
record.
N.B.
To
avoid
damaging
the
pick-up
cartridge
the
direction
of
cleaning
should
always
be
from
the
back
to
the
front
of
the
cartridge.
Necessity
for
cleaning
the
needle
can
be
avoided
or
at
least
reduced
to
seldom
occasions
if
the
Len-
coclean
Record
Cleaning
Device
is
regularly
used.
At
least
once
a
year
the
needle
should
be
micro-
scopically
checked
by
an
expert.
Worn
or
damaged
needles
result
in
bad
distorted
sound
reproduction
and
damage
to
your
valuable
records.
