slide control up or down to make pitch adjustments.

variation.

2. As illuminated by the blue light coming from beneath the power

dial, observe the strobe dots on the edge of the platter. If the

appropriate row of strobe dots appears to be stationary, the

plater is moving at the precise rated speed. If the dots appear to

be moving to the right, the platter is moving below rated speed; if

they appear to be moving to the left, the platter is moving above

rated speed.
