Record Dropping

The contral cam (136) operates the drop lever (122)
to control the automatic spindie (1). As the push

levers are retracted to release the record which

then draps onto the rotating turntable.

Depending on the size of the record, the feeier pin

(7) is pushed down a certain distance. The height of
the feeier pin (7) limits the return movement of the
upper locating lever (17) which determines the in-
ward movement of the tonearm (46) for a)" or 10"

record. If a 12" record is on the turntable, the
upward motion of the sensing lever (158), having
been released by the control cam (136), is limited.
The upper locating leve(.~l:ZJ is blocked on its return
stroke and stops the iriwärd movement of the tone-
arm (46) above the starting graoves of the 1"2"

Automatic Shut-Off

After the last record has. been played the tonearm

(46) returns to the tonearm rest (76) and is not
moved inward again. Due to the abscence of records,
the final shut-off is initiated by the automatic spindie

(1). This causes the Turn-àff lever (127) not to

actuate the stop switch (137) on the control cam

(136). Due to the unchanged position of the stop

switch (137), the drive lever (154) is switched into

the shut-off track of the control cam (136). During

the shut-off procedure the idler wheel (28) is pulled

away from the motor pulley (132) and the inner rim of

the turntable platter and the connection to the mains

power is shut-off.

cC--o"multipleplay turntable is converted to a fully auto-

matic single play turntable.
The' tonearm lowers in the standardized zone of

starting grooves of the different sized records in
the same manner as for the multiple play operation.

Continuous Repeat

With the automatic spindie' (1) disengaged the
player will continue to repeat the same record each

time it has been completed. The next record will drop

only after theautomatic spindie has been reengaged.

Manual Start €\

When the upper control lever e77) is sfiifted to.,

"Manual Start" the player will be turned on via the -

starting Lever (202). The lawer control lever (179) is
then caught by the locking segment (X) which is

glued onto the ratchet lever (197). The control cam
(136) does not start to turn but the motor (134) is
turned on. Via the starting lever (202) the idler
wheel (28) is pressed against the motor pulley (132)
and the inner rim of the turntable (6). Af ter the

turntable platter (6) has started to turn, the tonearm

(46) can be manually placed on any desired position

of thè record. It is not necessary to actuate the lift
lever (189).

Lift Function

When playing a record the lift lever

stopped at any desired position, shift the' lift lever

(189) to the symbol .Y. In this position the tonearm
(46) will be lifted approx. 513/' (4 mm) above the

record. Via the actuating lever for lift (191), the lift'
lever (189) actuates the lift crank (193) which pushes
up on the guide bushing (173) and raises the lifting

ra~ed, the compression spring (171), seated on the

(170) against the tonearm clutch (160). This prevents
a side,ways movement of the tonearm (46) in. its

. of the eccentric (W) on the .hinge pin tor the lift

crank (193).

In the position lift down (symbol y) the lift crank
(193) releases the guide bushing (173) and the with
silicon adhesive grease guided lifting shaft (169)
descends. In the normal playing position of the

tonearm (46), the lift lever (189) is held in its rest

position (symbol YJ by the torsion spring (185). The
lift operation is automatically discontinued when th~
contral cam (136) becomes engaged and !he lift
lever (189) returns to its rest position (symool Y). .

Stop

When the contral lever (77) is shifted to stop, the

shifting lever (208) disengages the drop mechanism
so that no additional record,s drop. The turn-off lever

(127) does not move into its operating position, the
stop switch (137) is not actuated and frees the cam

track for automatic final shut-off.

Tonearm

The tonearm is balanced by sliding the tonearm
counjerweight on the rear part of the tonearm. The
pick-up cartridge with the cartridge carrier must be
installed for this purpose. To protect the tonearm
bearing from shocks and to absorb vibrations the
tonearm counter weight is elastically mounted on
the tonearm. The tracking property and thereby the
important qualitative characteristics of the tonearm
are determined by the tonearm bearings. To reduce
friction to a minimum a super fine twin ballbearing,
whose races have an extra fine finish, have been
employed for the horizontal motion. For the vertical

movement two super fine ballbearings with specially

treated surfaces have also been incorporated. The

low frictional forces of the tonearm are of great im-
portance for the anti-skating device.

Anti-Skating Device

Since the tonearm is not infinitely long and the
tonearm head is at an angle with the tonearm itself,
a smal Iforce results which tries to swing the tonearm

towards the center of the record. This force is called
the skating force and causes the stylus

~'pressure onPthe inside surface than on the outside

surface of the record groove.
The skating force is dependent on the tracking force,
the radius of the stylus tip, and the friction between
the stylus and the record. The antiskating adjwste
ment is made by adjusting the tracking force. This
is done by means of a spring in axial alignment with
the tonearm,

Safeguards and Protective Features

If the horizontal movement of the tonearm
stopped, or if the unit is started with the tonearm
locked, this has no detrimental effect, since during
the horizontal movement the tonearm
with the switching mechanism""by means of a friction
clutch (160). The tonearm lifting elements are

resilient to allow the tonearm (46) to be depressed

without causing any permanent deformation which
would interfere with the proper operation of the unit.
When the unit is started without a record on the

turntable, the tonearm (46) remains on its rest. The

feeier pin (7) and sensing lever (158) are not actuated

by a record during the sensing operation. The lower
locating lever (155) is not pushed back and the

tonearm (46) is,prevented from moving because the

feeier pin (7) remains in its oriÇJinal position.
