2.0.0. Unpacking:
2.1.0. Packing list:
Tonearm with fingerlift; counterweight;
armbase; instruction manual; two
protractors, one for mounting tonearm on turntable and the other for cartridge
geometry adjustment and a bag.
Bag:
Sets of 3 socket head screws M6x16 mm, M6x20 mm, M6x25 (for Stabi Ref), M6x
30 mm, three washers, three spring washers (wooden armboards) for fixing base.
Allen keys: 5 mm for attaching armbase to armboard, 3mm for height adjustment
(VTA), 2mm for cartridge and azimuth, 1,5mm for fixing counterweight, bias and
cueing device adjustment.
Small bag containing 2 headsocket screws M2.5 x 5mm, M2.5x8 mm, M2.5x 12mm
and nuts for fixing cartridge plus Allen key 0.7mm for removing fingerlift.
Open the box carefully and remove the top cover. Ensure that the armboard on the
turntable has the correct cut-out (main central hole must be 30- 40mm in diameter).
Remove the armbase and prepare it for fixing onto the turntable.
Holding the pillar not the tube, lift the tonearm out. Observe bias and thread while so
doing.
The tonearm can be rested upside down on C shape.
Remove all other parts.
3.0.0. Tonearm Setup:
3.1.0. Armbase Setup:
3.1.1. Armboard cutout:
Take the tonearm mounting protractor and place on spindle of turntable. The Stogi
cut-out is similar to the standard Linn cut-out. You can also make a Kuzma cutout.
Mark position of holes on the tonearm mounting board as indicated on protractor.
Ensure that there is adequate space in front for tube and headshell and behind for
counterweight, in order to avoid problems of lid closure. Check also that screw
positions will be over cut-out on subchassis, unless screws are to be sunk. It is wise
before cutting to hold tonearm in position over marks and judge if position of
tonearm on board will be correct, bearing in mind these criteria. Otherwise the
precise position of tonearm is unimportant providing it lies on the protractor arc.
The height of tonearm with cartridge mounted is 55mm above record.
Remove tonearm board from turntable and check that thickness of board is between 6
mm and 22 mm, if so make cuts as marked.
