19. HEADSHELL
Standard, interchangeable stereo cartridge headshell.
20. HEADSHELL LOCKING RING
Rotate counter-clockwise (to the left) to draw the inserted
headshell firmly into its seated, locked position. Rotate the
ring a full turn to the right to permit removal of the
headshell.
21. TONE ARM
S-shaped tone arm geometry reduces tracking error.
22. TONE ARM ASSEMBLY HEIGHT ADJUST
Raises and lowers the entire tone arm assembly to allow
the tone arm to remain parallel to the record surface.
(The proper setting is “0” for the included cartridge.)
23. TONE ARM LIFT
Elevates tone arm above record surface.
24. TONE ARM REST WITH LOCKING CLAMP
Locking clamp secures tone arm during transport.
25. TONE ARM LIFT ADJUST SCREW
Used to set the amount of tone arm lift.
26. TONE ARM LIFT CONTROL LEVER (“Cueing Lever”)
Controls action of tone arm lift. (Note: Lift mechanism is
hydraulically damped to slow tone arm descent.)
27. ANTI-SKATE CONTROL
Applies a small inward force to the tone arm,
counteracting the tendency of the tone arm to move
outward due to forces created by the stylus in the
record groove.
28. COUNTERWEIGHT
Balances the tone arm and provides adjustment for proper
downward tracking force on the stylus.
29. TONE ARM ASSEMBLY HEIGHT LOCK
(Hidden under counterweight in drawing)
Locks the tone arm height setting. (Always fully unlock
before attempting to make a height adjustment.)
