7.2. Broken bias thread:
You will need about 100mm of thin nylon fishing line, Allen key 2.5mm and a sharp
knife. You can get it as spare part from a dealer. Remove counterweight.
With Allen key remove screw at the point where nylon is coming out from metal
part.
Note: This does not in any way affect the bearings.
At the end of the thread is a small plastic tube to which the thread is attached. Cut
away the broken thread and tie and knot new thread around tube.
Pull thread through screw and replace screw with Allen key.
Remove broken thread at bias. It may be necessary to pull aside the black plastic
slightly to do this.
Put new thread through and replace black plastic.
Position tonearm as if in inner groove position and pull thread until rod with weight
is in a horizontal position, ie. maximum bias.
Knot thread three times and trim surplus.
If absolutely necessary the length of thread can be shortened by loosening screw at
point ‘x’ with Allen key 1.5mm and pulling rod out slightly from main C metal part.
7.3. Hum and buzz:
Check to ensure that grounding wire has been connected.
If using an MC transformer, try connecting ground wire to this or to the
preamplifier.
Alternatively, connect grounding wire to preamplifier and run grounding wire from
the MC transformer ground to the ground of the preamplifier.
This can be caused by the transformer in the power amplifier being situated too close
to the cartridge or by the tonearm output cable being too close to the mains cable. If
cables must be close together try to ensure that they cross at right angles.
7.4. Cartridge jumps in the grooves:
See if the tube can travel towards the centre of the record and check that tube is not
restricted by cueing device height or holder.
