and align to the correct stylus pressure. (See Fig. 10)
(Follow the cartridge manufacturer’s recommendation.)
As the stylus-pressure ring moves in step with the
balance weight proper stylus pressure can be selected by
directly reading the graduated ring.
Turn the entire balance weight clockwise (indicated by
the arrow ‘‘A”) or counterclockwise {indicated by the
arrow “B”) until the tonearm is approximately balanced
horizontally (floats freely). (See Figs. 7 and 8.)
