Tonearm section
Highly sensitive universal tonearm
Highly sensitive universal tonearm of the gimbal suspension
system in which precision pivot bearings are employed at the
horizontal and vertical journals of the tonearm has made it
possible to realize arm friction of 7 mg. Therefore, the
performance of the high-compliance cartridge can be ful
realized.
Furthormore, the tonearm base is integrally formed with a die-
cast zine alloy finish of high specitic gravity to lend sufticient
strength and weight and thus completely eliminates undesirable
vibrations.
WMbiecast aluminum head shett
‘The head shell integrally formed by strong diecast aluminum
for reduction in weight is protected from harmlul head shelt
resonance. Additionally, the head shell terminats are gold:
plated
for

of

MViscous damped cueing
To prevent damage to the stylus tip and records liable to
take place during operation of the tonearm, a cueing device
damped with viscous oit is adopted.
Since the tonearm can be raised of lowered through operation of
location of a desired playing portion or temporary
19 of the playing are conveniently achieves
MAnti-skating controt
Proper outside force can be applied by such a simple opera-
(on as aligning tho knob with the same valve as the stylus
pressure, thus cancelling the skating force harmful to the stylus
tip.
MLow-capacitance phono cables that will not Impair the high>
frequency characteristics of the cartridge
