AUTO

LEAD

IN

When

the

START

or

REPEAT

button

is

pressed,

power

is

applied

to

the

Timing

motor,

and

the

rotary

cam

commences

to

rotate.

By

the

time

this

cam

has

made

half

a

turn

(commencement

of

record

play),

the

following

operations

will

have

been

completed.

1.

When

the

cam

commences

to

rotate,

micro-

switch

A

is

turned

on

to

start

up

the

DD

motor.

2.

The

crank

lever

coupled

to

the

cam

rotates

the

operation

plate.

3.

The

start

lever

commences

to

move

at

the

same

time

as

the

operation

plate,

resulting

in

the

lock

lever

engaging

the

PU

plate

shaft

(see

Fig,

3-a).

4.

As

the

cam

rotates

further,

the

lock

lever

together

with

the

start

lever

moves

the

tonearm

across

to

the

position

determined

by

the

selector

plate.

5.

The

start

lever

stops

when

it

meets

the

selector

plate

(see

Fig.

3-b

A

point).

6.

Although

the

start

lever

stops,

the

operation

plate

continues

to

rotate,

consequently

releas-

ing

the

lock

lever

from

the

PU

plate

shaft

(the

lock

lever

being

pushed

out

by

contact

with

the

operation

plate

at

point

B).

.

As

the

operation

plate

continues

to

rotate,

the

tonearm

elevation

is

lowered

until

the

stylus

lands

on

the

record

surface

(see

Fig.

.

As

soon

as

this

lowering

operation

is

complet-

ed,

the

cam

will

have

completed

exactly

half

a

tum.

Since

the

actuator

drops

into

the

con-

cave

section

of

the

cam,

microswitch

B

(base)

is

turned

off

to

stop

the

Timing

motor.

.

At

the

same

time

that

the

Timing

motor

is

turned

off,

the

switch

shorting

the

cartridge

output

terminal

is

turned

off

(thereby

dis-

connecting

the

muting

circuit).

As

the

record

commences

to

rotate,

the

tone-

arm

is

drawn

across

to

the

center

of

the

record

(Fig.

5).

AUTO-RETURN

As

the

tonearm

approaches

the

lead-out

groove

of

the

record,

PU

plate

screw

presses

against

the

feed

plate,

thereby

moving

the

stopper

towards

the

center

shaft

(see

Fig.

6).

.

Once

the

stopper

snaps

back

by

the

pin

at-

tached

to

the

motor,

microswitch

B

(lower

side)

is

turned

on

by

the

return

lever,

resulting

in

power

being

applied

to

the

Timing

motor

(see

Fig.

6).

indicate

the

sequence

of

events

up

until

the

Timing

motor

com-

mences

to

rotate.

.

The

cam

rotating

together

with

the

Timing

motor

also

rotates

the

operation

plate

via

the

crank

lever,

the

cartridge

output

being

shorted

during

this

rotational

operation

by

the

short

switch.

.

Rotation

of

the

operation

plate

activates

the

arm

lifter,

thereby

lifting

the

tonearm

away

from

the

record.

.

The

return

lever

on

the

operation

plate

then

commences

to

return

the

PU

plate

shaft

in

order

to

return

the

tonearm

to

the

arm

rest

(see

Fig.

7).

.

After

the

tonearm

has

been

returned

to

the

arm

rest,

the

rotating

cam

switches

off

the

power

to

the

main

motor,

and

to

all

other

parts

of

the

button

first

1.

Set

the

RECORD

SIZE

SELECTOR

to

the

MANUAL

position.

2.

When

the

START

button

is

then

pressed,

and

the

Timing

motor

commences

to

rotate,

the

operation

plate

will

also

commence

to

rotate,

resulting

in

the

lock

lever

together

with

start

lever

holding

the

PU

plate

shaft.

3.

In

the

same

position

that

the

PU

plate

shaft

is

held,

the

start

lever

meets

the

claw

of

the

selector

plate,

and

consequently

stops.

After

the

operation

plate

rotates

a

little

fur-

ther,

the

operation

plate

shaft

separates

the

lock

lever

from

the

PU

plate

shaft.

4.

Asthe

operation

plate

continues

to

rotate,

the

elevation

pin

drops

down

when

the

sloped

portion

of

the

plate

is

met.

The

Timing

motor

subsequently

stops

when

the

plate

is

pushed

round

as

far

as

it

will

go.

Raise

the

tonearm

by

hand,

and

lower

the

stylus

onto

the
