In those cases where the arm is supplied
without a cartridge, or it is desired to mount
a different cartridge in the shell, the mount
ing hardware supplied may be used. The
connections for the shell leads are as
follows:
A cable assembly is supplied in order to
conveniently connect the tone arm leads to
the amplifier. The five-pin plug should be
inserted in the socket at the base of the
pivot post. The phono plug attached to the
grey cable should be inserted in the right
channel amplifier input socket and that hav
ing the black cable in the left channel
socket. The black ground lead should be
connected to the amplifier ground.
The thread attached to the side thrust
compensator (A) should be draped over the
tone arm rest (B) as shown in the illustra
tion. For tracking pressures of 1 gram or
less, the thread attached to side thrust lever
(E) should be looped around the groove
nearest to the pivot. For higher pressures,
the outer groove should be used.
To measure tracking pressure, any accu
rate gram gauge calibrated from 2to 8
grams may be used. First rest the stylus
anywhere on the record. Then, place the
gauge under the arm at aposition indicated
by the red colored crosscut (D). Lift the
arm with the gauge. When the stylus just
comes clear of the record surface, note the
reading of the gauge and divide this reading
by four, e.g., agauge reading of 3grams
indicates apressure of 3/4gram; areading
of 6grams indicates apressure of 11/2
grams, etc. If asufficiently accurate gram
gauge that measures below 1gram is avail
able, you may, of course, measure tracking
pressure at the stylus tip in the conven
tional manner.
