The
Thorens
TP
25
tone
arm
has
been
designed
to
per-
fectly
match
the
standards
of
the
TD
125
turntable
and
it
will
therefore
give
you
optimum
performances.
Moreover
the
lowering
device,
operated
from
the
rigid
front
panel
by
means
of
an
additional
slide
bar,
greatly
facilitates
its
use.
5.1. Cartridge installation
The TP 50 plug-in shell offers enough s
necessary mounting hardware to suit any standard
pick-up cartridge ('/2" hole distance). Making use of
the hardware supplied — washers, spacers ond
screws — mount the cartridge in a way to bring the
stylus tip at a distance of 1/1" to 7/«" (19—21 mm) from
the bottom of the shell. Fig. 3.
Attention!
It
is
essential
that
only
the
metrical
M2
screws
supplied
with
the
TP
50
shell
be
used.
The
screws
delivered
with
several
cartridges
have
a
Whitworth
thread
and
they
will
not
fit
the
metric
threads
used
on Thorens units.
