Please Help!!!!!!

Last week I purchased a pair of Stanton STR8-80 direct drive turntables!

I have a question to you out there, so here goes:

Ok, the strobe illuminator tells you whether or not your platter is playing at the displayed speed when the pitch is adjusted, based on the flow of the strobe. If it flows righ (anti-clockwise) then the platter is spinning slower than the displayed speed, and if it flows left, the platter is spinning faster than the displayed speed.

My question is, how do you adjust this, so that the strobe does not flow in any direction, to ensure that your platter is spinning at exactly the speed displayed?

Thank you.

Ermmm, I'm not quite sure what you're getting at here, but it's my understanding that when the dots stop flowing in either direction the platter should be pitched @ 0. I'm not quite sure what you're driving at though.

The largest dots must not move at all if the pitch is @ zero.

When the pitch is at 0, the large dots are still moving slightly?!?

On the underside of my turntables there is a small hole, which above is labelled 'Pitch adjust +/-'. I assume this is to alter the pitch of the turntable so that the large dots remain still when the pitch is set to 0. Can anyone clarify this for me?
