Sansui SR-636 - Tonearm Calibration; Cartridge Mounting Gauge Usage; Tonearm Horizontal Balance

14
How to use the cartridge mounting gauge:
This unit is fitted with a gauge on the cartridge for overhang adjust-
ments. When using the headshell supplied, determine the cartridge
mounting position as shown in the illustration.
1. Loosen screws.
2. Fit the cartridge mounting gauge to the headshell.
3. Align vertically the mark indicated on the headshell with the stylus
tip: find the stripe printed on the gauge that runs above the stylus
tip and then align that line with the mark on the headshell by sliding
the cartridge with the gauge horizontally.
Before undertaking tracking-force adjustment, you must balance the
tonearm in a perfectly horizontal plane to the motorboard to obtain a
“O-gram” tracking force. Procedures are as described below:,
1. Remove the stylus protector cover.
2. Unhook the string of the anti-skating device,
3. Pull the arm lifter lever to the W side toward you.
4. While holding the headshell by its hook with your hand, move the
tonearm to a place midway between the arm rest and the platter.
Turn the main weight with your other hand until the tonearm
balances itself, remaining stationary and horizontal to the motor-
board: if the headshell rises, move the main weight to the right.
(seen from behind). If it lowers, move it to the left.
e Be very careful not to subject the stylus to undue shock during the
tonearm horizontal balancing.
