MAINTENANCE
Okeep the stylus and your records clean
If the stylus is not kept clean, it will not contact the record
groove properly, nor track perfectly, resulting in sound de¬
terioration as well as damage to both the record and the stylus
tip.
Be especially careful to clean away all dust and dirt from the
stylus tip with a soft brush or blower. DO NOT USE YOUR
FINQER. YOU MAY DAMAGE THE STYLUS. We recommend hav¬
ing your stylus checked periodically by Panasonic Dealer. Re¬
member,. a worn or damaged stylus can permanently damage
your record collection.
©KEEP THE SHELL TERMINALS CLEAN, TOO.
If the shell terminals are not kept clean, they will not contact well
with the tonearm's connectors, resulting in noise, hum or no sound.
Clean away periodically all dust and dirt from the shell terminals
with a soft cloth. (See Fig. 17)
©REPLACEMENT OF THE STYLUS
Remove the headshell from the tubular arm by loosening the
locking nut.
Carefully grasp the stylus assembly and pull it as shown in the
picture.
Being carefully not to touch the stylus tip, push the new one into
the opening of the cartridge as far as it will go. (See Fig. 16.)
