Note: To avoid stylus damage, avoid switching to Auto’ until records are
loaded on record spindle. To obtain best results, store and clean records as
recommended by the record manufacturers. Do not leave records on unit when not

Technical Service Department; for spare parts and service returns write to our
Service and Spares Department. i Address: 50-54 Radnor Street, Swindon, Wilts.

Maintenance:
The motor, turntable spindle and rub-ber intermediate wheel bearings are of
the oil retaining type and rarely need lubricating. When the need for oil is
appar-ent, 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.
To remove turntable:
Pull out the record spindle and unclip the retaining dip, noting its location
for correct re-assembly. Lift the turntable with equal pressure on
diametrically opposed sides.
The Ovaatm: When swung fully inwards the overarm must drop freely in its
location. If stiff, remove circlip on overarm spindle (beneath unit), withdraw
overarm and dean and oil its spindle.
SERVICE ADJUSTMENTS
Speed
Speed variation may be caused by warped records slip-ping. 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. i The motor end cover is stamped with its power supply
details and the motor pulley, if the removable type, is colour finished,
nickel for 5o cycles and brass for 6o 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 neces-sary
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 Dropping Position .Adjustment is provided by screw beneath the
pick clockwise to move the counterclockwise to means of the horizontal up arm.
Turn the screw pickup arm in and over the arm out.
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 44″
above the unit plate surface as the am returns to its rest. Switch CO `011′ at
the appropriate point in the changer cycle to adjust pickup dropping position
and height.
Stylus Pressure: The stylus pressure is altered by ratchet adjust-ment.
Pull the ratchet finger found on the under-side of the pickup arm, towards the
pickup head to decrease pressure. To increase, release the ratchet finger
indexing spring, raking are as the finger springs back, then reset to the
position giving the required stylus pressure. If a pickup arm lift restriaor
is fined, turn it counterclockwise to release, before adjusting stylus
pressure.
Pickup: Replace stylus when worn and feep free from accumulated dust.
