Hmmmm, how much time should I allow or should I just phone the shop and ask for a replacement of the dodgy one?

hi

would someone like to tell me what does the numbers do on the turntables (Technics 1200)

the Height.

Oviously it would be used to adjust the Height of the arm yes?

well mine one you just spin it around and around and it has no effect whats so ever, that is normal?

i havn't touched it for 2 years never played with those.

The height adjustment improves tracking. The higher the setting, the better the needle w/sit in the groove. This is great if you're scratching all the time, but causes way more wear on your records. I have mine set to 3.
Maybe you should get your tables checked out to see if something is wrong.

hi there

Isotoniik
sorry about that
i was looking at the wrong thing on my decks

i was meant to say the "weight" adjustment

just wondering which part that tells you how much weight you put on the tonearm?

there is no indication...(no arrow) there are numbers on them and you just spin them around and makes no differences?

i can even pull it out...
is it spose to be that lose?
i never played with those.

On the tonearm you should have a line in the middle, move the counterweight all the way back till the needle is floating, then start to turn the counterweight toward the front until the needle is just floating above the record. You want it to be as level as possible. Put the tonearm back in the rest and clamp it down, hold the counterweight and turn the dial to 0, and then add how much weight you need by turning the counterweight forward.

The dial w/the numbers tells you how much weight your adding. When your adding weight, you don't actually move the dial itself, but the whole counterweight. Spinning the dial w/just the numbers won't do anything.

The tonearm is probably designed so you can't pull the counterweight out.

Hope this helps.

thanks
that helps

actually
you can put the entire counterweight out.

i putted it out to see what da heck were the numbers there for didn't seem to do much just spining the numbers around.

now i know, to spin the entire dail.

Is the whitelable elliptical or spherical? It doesnt say on their site, or any other site?

i know it doesn't say
but i assume its spherical
as its made for spinning.

correct me if im wrong
