Now observe the position of the cueing device cylinder and ensure that this is facing the front
of the turntable. This will be the position of the tonearm when in the 'rest' position. If this
position is not suitable, release both screws and rotate bearing base in the brass pillar. Repeat
this process until you find a position where the tube is parallel to the right hand side of the
lid. This seems complicated in theory but is not in practice.

Tube base:
Carefully lift the tube base with counterweights and cable which, (for transport only) is
fixed at the end of the tube. Position it gently onto the bearing shaft. The bearing pivot will
automatically fit into the bearing cup on top of the bearing shaft. With Allen key (1.5 mm),
release and then remove the metal holder and cable from the back of the tube and carefully
fix it on the outside of the bearing base. Rotate the cable in such a way that the wires rise
vertically. Then fix it with Allen key 1.5 mm. With fingers gently arrange the wires into a
loop. ( See Fig.2 and arrow on Fig. 5)
Due to the counterweight being at the end of the tonearm, the headshell end is raised. Using
the same Allen key ( 1.5 mm), release the top screws and slide both weights off. Now you
can check the position of the tube in the 'rest' position and rearrange the bearing base if
necessary. Return first the thicker and then thinner counterweight to the rod and fix them
gently so that the fixing screws are on top.
If Stogi S 12 is mounted on other turntables, move the tube by hand towards the spindle as
if in an 'inner groove' position and ensure there is enough clearance for the rod and
counterweights. If not, consult your dealer.
