SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
Maintenance:
The motor, turntable spindle and rubber intermediate wheel bearings are of the oil retaining type and rarely need lubricating. When the need for oil is apparent, remove the turntable and lubricate these bearings with a fine grade oil. Remove any excess oil, particularly from the motor pulley, rubber intermediate wheel and inside turntable rim by wiping these driving surfaces with a clean cloth. Oil pivot points if stiffness becomes noticeable. If pickup arm pivots are lubricated, use only a fine grade oil.
Speed:
Speed variation may be caused by warped records slipping. If this is so, play singly or put adhesive tape on record labels to improve drive. Oil on driving surfaces may cause speed variation (see Maintenance). Should the equipment run fast or slow consistently, check that the motor and motor pulley match the power supply. The motor end cover is stamped with its power supply details and the motor pulley, if the removable type, is colour finished, nickel for 50 cycles and brass for 60 cycles power supply. Check that the rubber intermediate wheel runs in the centre of the appropriate step on the motor pulley and is not rubbing the side of the adjacent step. If necessary adjust the intermediate wheel height-setting blade. This blue spring steel blade is found beneath the unit plate and adjusts the position of the spindle on which the rubber intermediate wheel is mounted.
Pickup height:
The degree of lift is adjusted by the vertical screw at the rear of the pickup arm. Turn the screw clockwise to decrease and counterclockwise to increase pickup height. The stylus point should be set 1½½”above the unit plate surface as the arm returns to its rest. Switch to ‘Off’ at the appropriate point in the changer cycle to adjust pickup dropping position and height.
To remove turntable:
Pull out the record spindle and unclip the retaining clip, noting its location for correct re-assembly. Lift the turntable with equal pressure on diametrically opposed sides.
Stylus Pressure:
The stylus pressure is altered by ratchet adjustment. Pull the ratchet finger, found on the underside of the pickup arm, towards the pickup head to decrease pressure. To increase, release the ratchet finger indexing spring, taking care as the finger springs back, then reset to the position giving the required stylus pressure. If a pickup arm lift restrictor is fitted, turn it counterclockwise to release, before adjusting stylus pressure.
The Overarm:
When swung fully inwards the overarm must drop freely in its location. If stiff, remove circlip on overarm spindle (beneath unit), withdraw overarm and clean and oil its spindle.
Pickup Dropping Position
Adjustment is provided by means of the horizontal screw beneath the pickup arm. Turn the screw clockwise to move the pickup arm in and counterclockwise to move the arm out.
Pickup:
Replace stylus when worn and keep free from accumulated dust.
