A short record spindle for playing single records. This is fitted by locating it in the centre of the platter and pressing it down into place. It turns with the record, so minimising record wear. 2. A long record spindle for playing up to six records automatically - This is fitted by locating it in the centre of the platter and turning the spindle until it can be pressed down to be held in place bya retaining clip. The spindle can be removed again by a straight upward pull. 3. A large centre hole record adaptor. This fits over the single record spindle to enable records with 14" (38mm) diameter centre holes to be played singly. 4. A spring clip and wood screw. The screw is used to fix the spring clip in a convenient place for storing the large centre hole record adaptor when not in use. 5. A tonearm counterbalance weight. Screw this on to the rear extension of the tonearm, rounded corner first, to secure it. 5. A kit of cartridge fi 1 parts. This comprises a range of fixing screws of different lengths, and a clear plastic setting gouge for checking the alignment of the cartridge in the tonearm.SETTING UP Preparing the Mounting Board (These instructions can be disregarded if the unit is to be assembled to a ready-cut base) 1, Lay the paper template on the mounting board in the desired position and secure it to the board using strips of self-adhesive tape. (Glue would distort the template) Then, using ascriber or other pointed instrument, prick around the outline of the cutout, and mark the centre of the spring mounting recesses and the transit screw holes. » . Remove the template, drill two holes (@" diameter) for transit screws and. four recesses (1" diameter, 4" deep) for the spring mountings. o + Saw around the marked cutout. - . The mounting board can now be varnished, painted, or covering material applied. Installation 1. Thread power supply, ground and phono leads through cutout in mounting boord, and make sure that the leads to the motor switch and neon lamp are clear of any moving parts under the unit plate. 2. Screw transit screws right down and set locking clips vertical, then place unit on the board, aligning transit screws and mounting springs with their respective holes and recesses. Make sure at this point that the damping pads are in position in the mounting springs. 3. When the unit is in place press it down on its springs, then turn both transit screw locking clips horizontal. Note: for transportation, the transit screws should be turned counterclockwise to clamp the unit against the board. Release them afterwards. for playing by turning the screws clockwise. A.C. Power Supply and Ground Connections Make sure that the power supply and ground cable plug is pushed securely into the socket on the motor switch on the underside of the unit plate with the identification spurs aligned. The brown a.c. power supply cable should be plugged the power outlet socket on the amplifier or into a wall socket. The spade terminal on the green (or green and yellow) ground lead should be connected to a grounding point on. the amplifier chassis or directly to ground. The amplifier manufacturer's instructions will give more detailed advice. TO POWER SUPPLY:-— (BROWN LEADS) TO EARTH [GROUND] (GREEN OR GREEN! YELLOW LEAD) PLUG —_ IDENTIFICATION SPURS “> MOTOR SWITCH Combined motor switch, power supply and ground connections Issue 1SETTING UP (Continued) Connecting_a stereo cartridge to a stereo amplifier. Plug the brown phono lead into the phonosocket morked R on the underside of the unit plate and into the right-hand channel input socket on the amplifier. Similarly, plug the grey lead into the socket marked Land the left-hand channel input socket. amp! Plug brown and grey leads from the phono sockets into a 'Y' adaptor to combine the right and left-hand channel signals before feeding them into the input socket of the mono amplifier. An alternative method is to solder two short-circviting links between the pairs of connections on the back of the phono socket - one between the centre ‘signal’ terminals and one between thé outer ‘ground’ terminals. The output can then be taken from a phono lead plugged into either R or L socket. Phono socket connections Je Carrier Support the tonearm with one hand to avoid strain and withdraw the carrier with the other hand. Turn the carrier over and peel off any adhesive tape used to hold the coloured leads during transit. When removing the carrier with @ cartridge fitted, support the tonearm well cleor of the operating controls to avoid risk of damage to the cartridge. Removing the Pickup Ca Issue 1 Fitting the Pickup Cartridge ‘The fixing screws provided enable a wide range of high quality cartridges to be fitted to their correct operating position in the carrier. Great care must be taken when fitting the cartridge since it forms an integral part of the extremely precise tonearm design essential to the exceptional degree of tracking accuracy. A setting gauge is provided so that the carfridge may be assembled in the correct position on the carrier. To fit the cartridge proceed as follows := 1. Secure the cartridge to the carrier by passing a pair of screws through the cartridge mounting and the cartridge carrier, then screwing them into the threaded holes in the locking plate which slides in the channel on the carrier. The screws must only just protrude through the far side of the locking plate. nv Tighten the screws barely sufficiently to hold the cartridge in place, then slide the carrier into the slots in the clear plastic setting gauge, taking care that the stylus does not catch on the gauge as the cartridge enters. 3. The stylus tip must be vertically above the point at which the lines on the gauge cross. If it is not, move the cartridge until it is correctly aligned. 4. When the alignment is satisfactory, tighten both fixing screws, remove the gauge, and connect the insulated leads on the carrier by pushing their tags onto the cartridge output pins. Use the following colour code in conjunction with the cartridge manufacturer's instructions RED - Right hand channel signal GREEN = _ Right hand channel ground WHITE = Left hand channel signal BLUE = Left hand channel ground NOTE: If a cartridge has only three pine or fogs, use the green lead, or green and blue joined together. Insulate and tuck away any lead not required.SETTING UP (Continued) Fitting the Pickup Cartridge Corrier Move the tonearm locking lever to FREE, support the tonearm over the platter away from the operating controls with one hand, to avoid risk of damage to the cartridge, and press the cartridge carrier back into place in its slots in the front of the tonearm. Setting Stylus Force 1. Move the stylus force weight (1) so that its centre line is atO on the tonearm. 2. With the cartridge fitted, remove the stylus guard, move the tonearm locking lever to FREE and move the tonearm inwards so that it ‘pivots freely. Take care to prevent the stylus from touching the rubber mat. 3. Wind the counterbalance weight (2) back- wards or forwards until the tonearm is in balance with the stylus tip at the height of the top face of one record on the platter. 4, Return the tonearm to its rest, and move the locking lever to LOCK. 5. Set the stylus force to that recommended by the cartridge manufacture by moving the stylus force weight forward until its centre line is at the mark on the tonearm scale representing this force. The scale is calibrated up to 3 grammes in steps of } gramme. Serting the Tonearm Anti 1. skating Device For a cartridge with c conical (spherical) stylus tip. Move the magnet shield (3) along the transparent tonearm mounting bracket until the red calibration line on the shield is at a position on the "conical" scale corresponding to the stylus force. If, say, 2 grammes stylus force has already been, set, move the slider to the figure 2 on the scale. For @ cartridge with an elliptical stylus tip. Proceed in the same way, but use the “elliptical scale on the bracket. Side view of tonearm Issue 1 5OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS: General Advice 1. Keep the cartridge stylus clean and replace it when worn, 2. Store and clean records as their manufacturers recommend. Do not leave records on the turntable for long periods after use. 3. Do not switch on unless there is at least one record on the turntable. 4. Do not hold or turn the platter (2) counter~ clockwise. 5. Always allow the unit to switch itself off, or switch it off manually by one of the operating controls. If the power supply is disconnected during play, the rubber intermediate wheel will remain under pressure and may be deformed after a length of time in this condition. - 6. If the cortridge has more than one stylus, make sure that the correct one is presented for the record to be played. Pre r use after transit 1. Remove the stylus guard, if one is fitted. 2. Turn both transit screws (land 7) fully clock- wise so that the unit floats freely on its spring mountings. 3. Move the tonearm locking lever (6) to FREE. (Reverse these three actions before it is transported ogain) 4. Check platter speed as described in the next section. 5. Check that all three operating tabs (10,11 ‘and 12) are upright. ine on the control ring (14) to the centre of the scale; this is sufficient for most Purposes. However, if an even more accurate setting is required, proceed as follows: - Issue 1 While a record is playing, look at the markings seen through the stroboscopic viewing window (13) at the front of the unit. When playing at the '33' setting, the row of black and red bars further from the platter will appear stationary when speed is exactly 335 rev/min. Similarly at the '45' setting the row of bars nearer the plotter will appear stationary at exactly 45 rev/min. If the appropriate row of bars appears fo move clockwise, move the fine speed contro! towards the minus sign (-) until the bars appear to stop. if it appears to move counterclockwise, move the control towards the plus sign (+) until the bars appear to stop. The stroboscopic method of measurement is extremely precise. The degree of control (approximately 3% above and below nominal speed) also enables a user with the faculty of ‘absolute pitch’ to set record speed to his complete satisfaction, since a total variation of almost asemi-tone is provided.OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) To play a single record manually 1. Fit the short, single record spindle (B) into the centre of the platter (3) and press it down into place. 2, Place a record on the platter (2), using the adaptor provided if the record has a large centre hole. 3. Set the record speed selector (15) to 33 or 45 rev/min as required by the record to be played, and the cartridge tilting lever (8) foM. 4, Move the manval operating control tab (11) fully to ON. 5. (a) Lower the tonearm on to the record "by hand lifting it at the front of the arm (9) - oF (b) Move the cueing control tab to LIFT, then place the tonearm overany desired point on the record and return the control tab towards PLAY to lower the tonearm gently. After playing the record the tonearm will return to its rest and the unit will switch off. 1. Fit the short, single record spindle (B) and place the record on the platter, using the adaptor (C) provided if the record has a large centre hole. 2. Set the record speed and size selector (15) for the record to be played. For example, $3. for a 334 rev/min 12" record. 3. Set the cartridge tilting lever (8) to M. 4. Move the automatic operating control (12) fully té START and hold it there for a second or two before releasing it. After playing the record the tonearm will return to its rest and the unit will switch off. Issue 1 Record Spindles a stack of records automatically 1. Fit the long automatic record spindle (A) into the centre of the platter (3) and turn the spindle until it can be pressed down to be held in place. To pl 2. (a) 12" records-load up to six records on to the step on the spindle with the edge of the stack resting on the record platform (4). Pull the record steady (5) upwards then inwards and release it to return to the top of the records to stabilise them. (b) 7" records with small centre holes. These can be played similarly after fitting an extension to the record platform. This is available os an optional extra (Garrard Port No. 75189). (c) 7" records with large centre holes. Place the LRST00 large record spindle (available as an optional extra) over the automatic record spindle and load a stack of up to six 7" records level on to its step. Continued...OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS (Continued) 3. Set the record speed and size selector (15) for the records to be played. For example, 8 for 334 rev/min 12" records. 4, Set the cartridge tilting lever (8) to A. 5. Move the automatic operating control tab (12) fully to START and hold it there for a second or two before releasing it. When the records have all been played the tonearm will return to its rest and the unit will switch off. 6. To unload the records -lift them clear of the record spindle, even if they are to be replayed immediately. When using the LRS100 spindle lift the records with the fingers of both hands while pressing down ‘on the top of the spindle with the thumbs. Additional uses of the Controls Cue and Pause The tonearm can be raised while a record is playing by using the cue control tab (10) to LIFT, and lowered again by moving it back to PLAY. Issue 1 This feature is particularly useful for repeating or passing over any passage of music, and to interrupt play (pause) for a short time without switching off. Repeat A single record being played automatically, or the last record of a stack, can be replayed by moving the automatic control tab (12) to START before the tonearm lifts at the end of the record. Reject Any record of a stack (except the last), can be rejected by moving the automatic control tab to START. To reject a single record or the last of a stack move the tab to STOP. Stop While playing a single record or the last record of a stack, moving the automatic control tab to STOP will return the tonearm to its rest and switch off. While playing a stack of records this will cause the next record to be lowered before switching off. To lower the next record and play it, move the control tab to START.MAINTENANCE (Numbers in brackets are those used on the exploded views) LUBRICATION. The bearings of the intermediate wheel (47), motor (204) and platter (51) ore made of oil- retaining material which rarely requires re- lubrication. However if, after long use, the need for oil becomes apparent, remove the platter and lubricate the bearings very sparingly as described below. Apply a trace of thin oil to lever pivots at the same time, except plastic pivots and slides in the automatic trip mechanism which should not be lubricated. A thin, high-grade machine oil such as that used ‘on sewing machines or anon-detergent SAE 20W oil is suitable. A smear of light grease should be applied at extended intervals as necessary to all cam faces, pins and rollers after cleaning off the original grease. A general purpose calcium or lithium-based grease similar to or lighter than petroleum jelly is suitable. CAUTION. Take great care to prevent any lubricant from coming into contact with the driving surfaces of the motor pulley, inter- mediate wheel or platter since this could cause slippage resulting in record speed variation. Do not over-lubricate and wipe off any surplus before running the unit again atter maintenance. The rotation of the cueing cam (154) is retarded by a special viscous damping fluid sealed into a cavity in the lower casting (159) during manufacture: it should not be lubricated with oil or grease. To remove the platter Pull out the record spindle (57 or 58), carefully lever up the inside edge of the rubber mat (52) and prise out the plastic centre disc (54) with a small screwdriver. With the same tool, pull off clip (53) - noting its position for re-assembly - and lift off the platter (51) by applying equal pressure on opposite sides. CAUTION. Do not switch on when the platter has been removed and the speed control is set ot 45 rev/min. Issue 1 When refitting the platter, turn it clockwise for ‘one revolution as soon as it is on the spindle in order to ease the rubber intermediate wheel into place. Intermediate Wheel Bearing Remove the spring clip (49), plastic washer (48), intermediate wheel (47) and fibre washer (46) to clean the spindle and bearing before applying a thin smear of oil to their running surfaces and reassembling in reverse order. Make sure that the wheel is pulled freely against the motor pulley when the manual operating contro! moved to ON and that it is fully released again when the control is moved to OFF. Oil must not come into contact with the rubber surface of the wheel. Motor Bearing Run a drop or two of oil down a long sewing needle (or similar object) onto the motor spindle below the pulley (209) so that it will flow into the top bearing of the motor. This bearing is concealed below the motor mounting plate. Oi! must not come into contact with the motor pulley. Platter Bearing Apply a thin smear of oil to the inside bearing surface of the platter (51). Oi! must not come into contact with the driving rim. Platter Spindle Bearing Apply a thin smear of oil to the spindle and a drop or two of oil to the bearing (254). CLEANING Cartridge Stylus Keep the cartridge clean by periodically removing its corrier (see page 4 ) and blowing ony accumulated dust off the stylus tip or by gently brushing it away with a very soft brush. Platter Mat Clean this with a soft brush when necessary . Platter Drive Mechanism After a long period of use it may be found worthwhile to wipe the driving surfaces of the motor pulley (209), intermediate wheel (47) and plotter rim with a clean lint-free cloth. The strobscope ring (50) can be wiped at the same time.ADJUSTMENTS All adjustments are set during manufacture, (except stylus force) and should only need to be reset in exceptional circumstances. Setting checks will be simplified if the power supply is switched off, the automatic operating control moved fully to START and the plotter rotated clockwise by hand so that the tonearm moves slowly and can be: stopped in a con- venient position for measurement. Tonearm Lowering Position A minor adjustment may be necessary to make certain that the stylus tip lands inside the raised rim of the groove guard to be found on many records. While the tonearm is on its rest, use a small screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw (A) clockwise to move the lowering position inward and counterclockwise to move it outward. When the tonearm returns to its rest after rising at the end of a record, the top of the finger lift should be Ti" (46mm) above the top face of one record on the platter. Tum the adjusting screw (8) clockwise to increase and counterclockwise to reduce lifting height. Tonearm Lifting Height Restriction The restrictor should prevent the tonearm from rising more than %" (1.5mm) higher than the setting referred to in the previous paragraph. Use a small screwdriver to turn the adjusting screw (C) counterclockwise to increase and clockwise to reduce restriction. MOTOR PULLEY ™ Intermediate Wheel Adjustment Fine Speed Control Although this adjustment should not normally be necessary, the height of the intermediate wheel can be raised or lowered in relation to the motor pulley driving steps. This will vary platter speed at the mid-setting of the fine speed control. The percentage speed variation available will of course remain at approximately 4 3%. To reduce speed, raise the wheel by turning the adjusting screw (D) clockwise when viewed from the head of the screw. To increase speed, lower the wheel by tuming the screw counterclockwise.FAULT CHART The unit should be disconnected from its power supply and the stylus protected before making service adjustments.
