I wonder if list members with lots of DD experience could give me some
information? I am restoring a Chippendale Console Diamond Disk (case needed a
new base, lots of delaminated veneer, etc.) and am perplexed by the post that
the horn and reproducer turn on. Specifically, I am not getting the proper
distance between the bracket that holds the horn, the finger that slides along
the bottom of the motorboard (and is adjustable up and down) and the stud that
fits into the bottom socket that the whole thing turns on. I can adjust all of
these, but don't get them to the point where the reproducer sits appropriately
on the record surface. Judging from the (rather poor quality) photos in the
manuals and in the Frow book, there is maybe 1" between the spring steel finger
and the bracket, but I can't set this and still have the lifting lever work to
move the reproducer up and down. (Is this understandable?) I can also screw the
stud at the bottom in or out, to lengthen the whole post.
I have studied the directions in the DD manual but still can't get the
distances correct I am afraid. Any thoughts? Thanks in advance--
John Sheets
