PARTS IDENTIFICATION
OPERATION AND FUNCTION OF CONTROLS
(TURNTABLE SECTION)
o ROTOR (S ee Fig.1- f) )
Thi s unit uses a direct drive motor. Th erefo re, the rotor, which is the
r
otat ing part of the motor, is connected directly to the turntable platter.
The spindle o f the motor and the s haft of the turntabl e platter are the
same.
For th is reason, to maintain the high performance described in
the
specificat ions, it is not desirable to appl y a large am ount of ex·
ternal force to the ro
tor and the spi ndle of the motor . The rot or is,
theref
or e, clamped securely to protect the deli ca te an d important parts
during transportation.
Be sure to remo ve these fittings ~ carefully, and save them fo r future
use, as w hen, for exalnple, the player must again be transported .
(C
autio n)
The rotor of the motor is constructed so th at it cannot be re moved in
ord er to maintain its high perf or man ce for a long time .
Do not attempt to rem ove the removal prevention fitting @ for the
rotor .
6PILOT LAMP (Se e Fig,1- 6 )
€)POWER SWITCH/SPEED SELECTOR (S
ee Fig,1- €) )
Set the "speed se lec tor" to the desired posi ti on (33 or 45 , depending
upon the speed of th e record to be played). The pi l ot lamp will be
light ed. The turntable platter will not rotat e unless you push the
"STAR T " button .
OSTART BUTTON (See Fig_1- 0)
Push the "STA RT " button and the turnt able platter wi ll rotate ..
St
arting ro tation power is large with co m plet e stability o f speed
reached
withi n one-half ro t ation at 33· 1/3 r.p .m .
0STOP BUTTON (S ee Fi g,1 - 0 )
Push the " ST OP" butt on when you want to s tOP the rotation. The
turntabl e platter will continue to rot a te f or a sho rt time because o f
its large
inertial for ce.
0VARIABLE PITCH CONTROLS ( Se e Fig,1- 0)
Adjus t the "variable pitch controls" if ne cessa ry. These are designed
to
provide adjustment of the selected speed by ±5%.
Select the speed of the
turntable platter by setting the "s peed s elector"
to the desired position. The rotating turntable p latter when illuminated
by conven ti onal fluorescent lamp or by neon lamp may show move -
ment of the marks on the strobo disc. if so, adjust the "variable p itc h
contrOls" until the strobo marks are statio nar y .
A
fter the necessary adjustment has been ma de, the speed wi ll not
change and re-adjus tment wi ll not be ne cessa ry .
The s trob o marks molded aro u nd the turntabl e platter are used to
check th e correct speed of rotation for 50 H z (European), and 60 Hz
(U.S .A . ). Adjust it s rotation according to the s trobo label.

If . for any reason, the adjustment ca nnot be successfully made , use
a (- ) tip scre wdriver to adjust the appropriate speed a dju stmen t screws
(33 or 45 ) loca ted beneath the turntable platter.
Turn ing th e speed adjustment screws to the right or left wi ll increa se
or decr ease the speed respective ly.
CDA C OUTLET ~(See Fig.1- aD )
Thi s one is designed w ith a view to future us e, that is for your special
co
nv enience such as for neon lamp or stylus illumination light.
4J)SPECIAL OIL (See Fig.1 - 4J) )
Th e bearing part s of this set are de signed wi th an ultra · pre scise fin ish
to prevent the generation of "Wow a nd Flutter".
A special oil has been used to maint ain the high ·per forman ce efficiency
of thi s set by fo rming a unif orm film o f oil over the parts . F or this
reason,
use only the oi l included with this se t for its lubri ca tion .
Even
if there is oil leakage around the oil hole or the rotor, ca used
during trans portation , it will not effect the performance .
Before u se, apply about 2 drops of oil into the oil hole.
T o
lubri ca te, open the tip of th e v essel with a needle. After lubricating,
cover the ve sse l w ith the cap to prevent the leakage of oil.
Never use any other type of oil. To lubricate, remove the turntable
platte r and apply about 2 drop s of oil into the oil hole.
I t
is sufficient to lubricate the se t once afte r app r oxi mately 2,000 hour s
of use.
T
wo thousand hours are equiva l ent to 5- 1 /2 years, if the set is used
one h
our a day, or to 8 month s if u sed 8 hours a day.
This period is much longer than h as been necessary on previous, con·
ventional motors. Do nOt apply too much oil, nor more often than
necessa ry.
