20. Positioning the Armrest
1. Keeping the tone-arm in the armrest and avoiding any pressure that might disturb the
HTA setting, swing both tone-arm and armrest radially until the left-hand front edge of
the headshell is at a radius of 205mm (8 1/16”) from the centre of the record spindle. The
measurement is not critical within+/- 3mm (1/8”) but the accuracy of the anti-skate
control will be affected is this is exceeded.
21. Locking the Base
1. The two M4 x 18 socket cap screws securing the tone-arm base to the sub-chassis can
now be tightened, followed by the base clamp bolts at the rear. Excessive force is
unnecessary and should be avoided. At this point the VTA screw may be removed until it
is required again.
22. Anti-Skate Control
1. The dial is calibrated and should be set to correspond with the VTF in use. Rotate the
dial until the chosen setting coincides with the index point.
Requirements are dependent on a number of variables and the recommended setting will
be found a good compromise. The situation lends itself to experimentation. Listen for
any discrepancy between channels. If the left channel mistracks, reduce the setting and if
the right channel mistracks increase it.
23. Operation (turntable)
1. Complete the arm and cartridge set-up procedures as detailed above Sections 11 - 20.
2. Place the record spindle washer on the spindle followed by the record and clamp. The
latter should be screwed down clockwise enough to deflect the record flat into firm
contact with the platter. With a fingertip tap the record in three places equally over its
surface and with a little practice it will soon become evident whether or not the record is
touching the platter. If not, some further tightening may be necessary but this is not
always the answer however and sometimes releasing the clamp a little may do more to
effect the desired improvement.
3. The turntable is now ready for
use. At this point packing and all
other items no longer required
should be stored in the packing
case so as to be available if
needed in the future.
4. Plug in the power supply and
switch on at its rear. The LED
marked ‘power’ will light up.
