The switch provided has 3 positions but the tape speed will depend also upon
the size of crpstan sleeve in use.
If the head covers are removed (push fit) one may observe the brass capstan
Sleeve to the right of the tape heads. The sleeve is a tight fit over the
Spindle and is retained in position by means of a grub screw (see side of
capstan sleeve).
Two sleeves are provided with each recorder, normally the larger sleeve is
fitted and the smaller sleeve is stowed in the pocket in the top of the
cabinet. When the larger sleeve is in use the 3 speeds of 38 cms. (15 i.p.S.),
19 cms. (?% i.p.s.) and 9.5 ems. (3% i.p.s.) may be selected by means Of the
speed change switch (see position marked 38, 19 and 9.5) whilst with the
smaller sleeve in use, the speeds for each switch position will be halved
(see alternate switch markings 19, 9.5 and 4.75).
Note that the switch has but 3 positions and the knob cannot be turned more
than 60 degrees. Should a capitan sleeve be changed ensure that there is a
clearance of approximately l/l6tn inch between the bottom of the sleeve and the
top of the bearing which protrudes through the deck plate.

Mains Supply Switch
0. nu-Wu... -~.no1. -5: w .u m
The mains power to both deck and amplifiers is switched by means of the extreme
right-hand button on the amplifier's panel ~ this switch is of the pushipush
type, i.e. push for ON or OF.
It is suggested that, after loading the machine with tape, the operator should
familiarise himself with the deck functions (not necessarily changing the
capstan sleeve at this juncture). Check Fast Wind, Fast Rewind, Record and
Playback, noting that interlocking prevents the large leftwhand knob from
being turned when the right-hand knob is in use and vice versa.It is important
to remember that the small black button to the left of the Record/Replay knob
must be pressed before that knob can be turned to Record. This button will
automatically return to the safety position when the Record/Replay knob is
returned to the 'stop' position.

There are two Recording amplifiers and two Replay pre-amplifiers under the
lower panel of the machine and now one should become familiar with the controls
of this section.
Push Buttons
fid- on man-Wharx 1.» .0 ........
The Aux button must be pressed to bring into circuit the two sockets above it
(into these sockets the signal from the Hi Fi pre~amps. will be fed for
recordings to take place).
The Mic button must be pressed when the sockets above it are required for
recording from microphones.
The 'A' button should be pressed when one wishes to hear the signals being fed
into the Aux and Mic sockets prior to them being recorded. (Pressing the 'A'
button will not prevent recordings being made).
The 'B' button should be pressed when the recorded signal is to be replayed.
Thus it will be possible to make comparison between the recorded signal and the
original signal as recording proceeds. The B' button must of course be
pressed when replaying previously recorded tapes.

Fit the full reel of tape to the leftuhand spoolholder so that the tape
feeds from the L.H. side of the machine through the slot between the head
covers and via the adjustable tape guide to the empty reel which should
be fitted to the rightnhand spoolholder.
lf correctly laced, the glossy side of the tape will be facing the operator
and the tape will lie between the heads and pressure pads and also between
the two pins near the left-hand tape guide, i.e. in front of the auto-stop
pin which moves in the slot but to the pad side of the pin which is attached
to the Erase (left-hand) pressure pad arm.
Care should be taken to ensure that the tape does not become twisted when
attaching it to the-empty reel, i.e. the coated side of the tape must face

The extreme rightmhand tape guide may be moved in the vertical plane in
order to feed the tape to the take-up reel without it touching the edges
of the reel. To adjust, hold lower milled edge and turn unper edge in an
anti-clockwise (unscrewing) direction. You will then have two sections which
may be re-locked at the height necessary to feed the tape centrally to the
takemup reel by holding the lower section and screwing the upper section
hard against it.
