111 Cartridge lead replacement

The cartridge leads. Part No. 1806, can be

replaced and may be obtained from your dealer

or direct.

They should be fitted according to the colour

coding shown looking onto the shell from the

front.

112 Fitting the headshell

Using the 2mm A/F wrench release the

headshell clamp bolt and remove it. The nut

remains in its housing in the underside of the

headshell where it is retained with adhesive.

Offer up the headshell to the tonearm

identifying the half-round keyway near to the

front.

As the headshell is pushed onto the tonearm

resistance will be felt as the spring loaded

contact pins in the tonearm plug are

compressed.

Align the bolt hole in the headshell with the

keyway in the tonearm and insert the clamp bolt

until it contacts the nut. Tighten lightly using the

2mm A/F wrench.

113 Removing the headshell

Using the 2mm A/F wrench release the clamp

bolt and unscrew it. To remove the bolt push

the headshell onto the tonearm using just

enough pressure to overcome the spring-

loaded contact pins in the tonearm plug. The

clamp bolt should then be loose enough to lift

out using the long leg of the wrench whilst

applying slight tilt so that it does not slip out of

the socket.
