subchassis. This must be unscrewed before the turntable
is used (Figure 5).

suspended.
tt. Assembling the turntable
The motor spindle, motor pulley, turntable bearing and tone
arm assembly are designed to very close tolerances. As
precision parts, they should be protected against shock
and strain. Exercise particular care in fitting or removing
any part of the turntable assembly.
For shipping or transporting, always remove the large
outer platter, the TP 63 cartridge wand and the tone arm
counterweight from the turntable.
Loop the drive belt around the inner turntable platter
and motor pulley as shown in Figure 6.
Center the outer turntable platter on the inner one
and set the rubber mat in place.
The belt, the motor pulley and the periphery of the
inner turntable should be entirely free of any trace
of oil or grease. lf necessary clean them with a lint-
free cloth dampened with denaturated alcohol or methyl-
ated spirits.
The TP 16 Mk UI tone arm consists of the bearing
assembly hnd the TP 63 cartridge wand, illustrated
in Figure 7. The cartridge wand with pickup cartridge is
plugged into the bearing assembly and secured by tighten-
ing the knurled collar. Instructions for mounting a pickup
cartridge in the wand are given in Section IIL
Tighten the counterweight temporarily into position at the
rear end of the tone arm by means of the knurled screw
(see Figure 14 in Section IV).
Remove the dust cover from the upper packing enclosure
and fit it into the hinges@of the turntable base (Figure 1 ).
