Step 8Closing up and checking adjustment
The biggest part is now done. Now we need to check if the pitch needs to be adjusted.
Slide the cable through the hole where it came from earlier. If you want to you can try to replace it in the metallic spiral, I didn't. Replace the pitch slider PCB in the top half of the turntable (be careful so the LED goes through the hole in the lid). Replace the two screws fastening it and remember to attach the small ground cable at the top of the pitch slider.
Replace the bottom. Replace all screws in the correct locations. Do not twist the screws too hard as it is quite easy to destroy the threads on some of them. Replace the feet.
When all screws and feet are back, turn the turntable over. Replace the cover on the top (do not add the screws yet). Replace the platter by placing it over the spindle and pushing it down ever so slightly, it should snap into place.
Ok, the lid and the platter are back in place? Connect the turntable to mains power and turn it on. Place the pitch slider at +6%. Start the platter. Have a look at the dots on the platter near the strobe under the on/off switch. The top row of dots represent +6% pitch.
If the top row of dots stay stationary (it's easier to see this if you place a screwdriver up against the power switch, make sure the screwdriver DOES NOT touch the platter though) you are all good. Please skip the next step and go directly to the end!
If the dots move either right or left slowly you will have to adjust the pitch. Proceed to the next step.
