MT-990 - Mounting the Headshell

Slide the connector joint of the headshell (15) onto the front end of the tone arm (13) and lock it by carefully turning the knurled nut towards the platter until hand-tight.

Note: Type art.no. 149 701/149 701C comes without a cartridge.  We recommend to perform the assembly of the cartridge of your choice at this point. Please refer to the mounting instructions given
by the cartridge manufacturer.

Type art.no. 149 700/149 700C comes with a high-quality cartridge that has already been mounted and adjusted.

The supplied cartridge is equipped with a stylus protection cover which has to be removed for operation and some adjustment tasks. Please carefully pull off the protection cover to the front (fig. 6). After use of the turntable, we recommend to put the protection cover on the cartridge again.
