slips
off
the
motor
pulley
or
rides
on Ehe
flange of
Ehe

(33

RPM)
the azimuth
of
the

plaEter
may have to
be

be
accornplished
by
adjusEing
the screw
locaEed
between the

and
their lubrication,
n€ly
be
checked
over
a
period of
time
by

may
be
counLed
from
the
moment the
Eurntable
is
aE
full
running speed
(33

until the turntable
stops.
The
rubber
belt
should
be
removed
for Ehis
test and
the
turntable
rotated
by hand to achieve
operating speed
as observed
with
a
stroboscope.
If
Ehe
number
of revolutions
drops radically,
Ehe
lubrication
of
