To set the speed
The exact speed is fixed through a precision quartz. Simply select the required
setting for the record via the round speed selector. There is no need for nor the
option for any fine adjustment.
Replacing the stylus
The stylus is naturally exposed to wear and tear by the playback process.
Therefore, we recommend regular inspections.
1. Remove the stylus by pulling diagonally downwards. (Pic. 3)
2. Insert the stylus by doing the performing the reverse action.
Note:
Worn or damaged (splintered) styluses ruin records.
When you need to replace a stylus, use the original type if possible.
