SUSPENSION SPRINGS |
Fitting new Suspension Springs :-
 |
-
Ensure the
electrical supply is switched off and mains plug removed from wall
socket.
-
Carefully remove
platter, belt, tonearm board and tonearm.
-
Set the
platter level adjustment to midway using the side adjusting screws
regardless of whether the platter is level or not.
-
Turn the
turntable upside down and place it on two stacks of books so as to
not let the fixed part of the bearing or motor pulley touch the
worktop.
-
Remove the
base plate and the screws holding it in position.
-
Remove the 'pac-man'
spring retainers and remove the sub-chassis.
-
The T-frame
is now fully visible and the suspension springs can be seen fixed to
the hinged wedges.

8. Remove the split pin securing
the hinged wedge. |

9. Push the hinge pin out and
replace the spring with the new one. Then replace the pin to
secure the spring. |

10. Replace the hinged wedge and
spring with the split pin. |

11. Tie a suitable wire to the new
springs (in this case solder has been used) to pull the springs through
the sub-chassis |

12. Place the sub-chassis over the
springs and push the ends of the wire through the holes in the
sub-chassis and pull the springs through the holes. |

13.
When all of the springs have been pulled through, place the 'pac-man'
spring retainer into the spring and screw each one into a position about
3 turns from the end of the spring. Remove the pull through pieces of
wire.
|

14.
Replace the tonearm, armboard and platter then level the platter by
adjusting the side screws. (See
Suspension Adjusting Tools for more detailed help in levelling the platter).
It may be necessary to screw the 'pac-man'
retainer up the spring if adjustment bottoms out. |
