ASSEMBLY
Make sure to place the device on a clean and sturdy surface.
1. Mounting the platter:
Fig. 4
2. Mounting the headshell:
3. Attaching the counterweight
4. Horizontal adjustment of the turntable
Place the device in its intended position. The surface must be sturdy and plane. There should be no amplifiers, speakers, radios or TV sets
close to it.
Now the device needs to be accurately aligned horizontally. The height of the four feet can be adjusted by turning them.
Carefully lower the platter (4) with the smooth side up onto the center spindle (3). Please make sure that
you do not damage the delicate tone arm.
To improve the decoupling of the record from unwanted vibration, please put the felt mat (2) onto the
platter.

Slide the connector joint of the headshell (15) onto the front end of
the tone arm (13) and lock it by carefully turning the knurled nut
towards the platter until hand-tight.
Note: Type art.no. 149 701/149 701C comes without a cartridge.
We recommend to perform the assembly of the cartridge of your
choice at this point. Please refer to the mounting instructions given
by the cartridge manufacturer.
Type art.no. 149 700/149 700C comes with a high-quality
cartridge that has already been mounted and adjusted.
The supplied cartridge is equipped with a stylus protection cover
which has to be removed for operation and some adjustment
tasks. Please carefully pull off the protection cover to the front (fig.
6). After use of the turntable, we recommend to put the protection
cover on the cartridge again.
Attach the counterweight of the tone arm (7) by screwing it onto
the rear end of the tone arm as shown. Turn the weight until the
center line on top of the tone arm is only just visible.
