ASSEMBLY

To protect delicate components your Goldring EXCelda 1
Turn~table has been packed in a solid carton and is partly
disassembled. Fer simple assembly read the following
instructions carefully before commencing setting-up your
Turn~table for use.

1. Remove the Turnwtable from the carton and remove
both motor fixing screws (1)

2. Check that the drive belt (3) has been installed.
If it hasnt, loop it around the smaller diameter
of the motor stepped pulley (2) and around the rim
of the inner Turnwtable (4). This will give
33 i/3 rpm speed replay.

3. Position the outer Turn~table (5) centrally on the
shaft of the inner Turn-table (4).

4. Remove the transport fixing inserts from the
tone~arm bearings.

5. If the Turnetable is supplied without a pickfiup
cartridge, the latter has to be mounted into
the tone-arm shell, making use of two screws of
the cartridge mounting hardware. All cartridges
with standard 1/2 mount, with a weight between
5 to 7 gr. and for tracking forces of 10 to 30 mN
can be mounted in the tone~arm shell.
For connecting the leads to the cartridge pins,
follow the international code:

white - left channel, signal lead (L)

blue ~ left channel, shield

red » right channel, signal lead (R)

green - right channel, shield

recommendation of the manufacturer:

rest (18), position the arm between the arm rest
and the rim of the Turnwtable platter and tilt

counterweight (6) onto the back end of the tone~arm
tube until the stylus tip hovers at record playing
level. The tone-arm is now balanced.
