I. GENERAL DESCRITION  
STABI REFERENCE TURNTABLE is a suspended subchassis turntable. The base  
plate, subchassis and platter are of an acryclic and aluminium sandwich construction  
which dampens all resonance of the turntable. The subchassis is isolated from the  
environment by four springs which are damped with silicon oil in sealed reservoirs.  
The suspension in easily adjusted via four knobs on the turntable top. The whole  
turntable stands on three large spikes.  
The bearing assembly is of an inverted type. The platter lies on a ruby ball and is  
centred by a sliding ring. These both have their own oil bath.  
Two motors drive the platter via a flat belt. The turntable has its own power supply  
which enables motors to rotate with the minimum of vibration and constant torque. It  
is quartz controlled, split phase with internal 0.4 % speed adjustment. The signal is  
amplified by two 20W amplifier.  
Each turntable is individually built and tested and made of the best available materials  
to ensure it gives the highest possible standard of musical performance.  
We wish you many happy and trouble free listening years.

III. ASSEMBLY  
1. Open box C and remove baseplate taking care not to knock motor pulleys. Place  
in intended location for use.  
2. Open box B, remove subchassis and lower gently into position on top of base plate.  
Remove protection tape from shaft and check that the small ruby ball is in a central  
position on top of the shaft.  
3. From box A remove subplatter, belt and small oil bottle. Remove protection tape  
from theunderneath of the subplatter.  
4. From small oil bottle squeeze 35 drops of oil onto the top of the shaft. Oil will run  
from top to fill lower well.  
5. Gently lower subplatter onto shaft (NOTE: if at anytime it is necessary to remove  
subplatter, be aware that a certain amount of oil will adhere to it). Airpressure will  
slow motion ob subp.  
6. Carefully put belt around both motor pulleys and subplatter to make a diamond  
shape.  
7. Remove platter from box D and place carefully on top of subplatter, mat uppermost.  
8. Turning the adjustment knobs anticlockwise cause the subchassis to rise. If you  
look  
from the side between baseplate and subchassis you can see a line marked on each  
suspension towers which is 7 mm above the baseplate. Adjust height of subchassis  
by turning all 4 adjustment knobs so thar lowr edge of subchassis is level with  
markings on all towers.  
9. The cable for connecting power supply and turntable has five pin plugs which  
should  
be inserted and locked into connectors at rear of power supply and turntable.  
10. Connect mains cable into mains and then switch on power supply at the rear of PS.  
Red light should appear on front panel.

Testing for correct assembly  
1. The subchassis should move a few mm in all directions if gently bounced.  
2. Switch on to 33 rpm position at front panel. The red light will change to green and  
the platter should slowly start to rotate, obtaining full speed in 8 to 10 seconds.  
Initially some cracling noises may be heard. These are made by belt and will  
disappear in a few weeks. If constant noise is heard, check height of subchassis  
or position of belt.  
Mounting tonearm  
1. with blank mounting board  
Use template provided by tonearm manufacturer and mark position of cuts. Bear  
in mind that there must be adequate space for counterweight. Check position of  
tonearm output cable.  
Unscrew four screws securing mounting board using 4 mm Alan key.  
The tonearm board is an aluminium and acrylic sandwich held together by two  
screws. These must be removed and cuts made in acrylic and aluminium separately.  
Fix tonearm base to board as instructed and  
2. with precut board  
Unscrew 4 screws and take board of using 4 mm Alan key.  
Fix tonearm base on board and fix it back to subchassis.  
There is no need to secure tonearm cable. Just allow I to drop through hole in base  
plate and out at back.  
NOTE: The weight of the tonearm will have altered the height of the subchassis.  
This should be readjusted using the four knobs on top of the suspension  
towers. Anticlockwise raises subchassis.

IV. ADJUSTMENT  
1. Positioning turntable and power supply  
a. suitable surfaces are:  
- if floors are solid, a solid welded table, sand filled or purpose built turntable  
table  
- if floor are not solid - welded shelf  
- if neither of these options are available, avoid placing on heavy bulky furniture  
and place on strong but lightweight surface  
b. When carrying turntables tilt of up to 15° should not cause any oil spillage. But  
due to the weight of turntable we suggest platter and belt be removed. If you lift  
up and remove subchassis as well then the silicon oil will be sealed, but not oil in  
bearings.  
2. Levelling of turntable  
a. Ensure that turntable support is horisontal  
b. level subchassis according to instructions in assembly no. 8.  
3. Fine speed adjustment  
The fine adjustment mechanism is controlled by a switch inside the power supply.  
The speed is adjusted in small stages according to the position of the switches.  
Adjustment is possible in plus minus 0.4 % in 0.05. steps.  
You will need a plastic or wooden tootpick or stick ie. not metal.  
a. turn power supply upside down.  
b. remove front right rubber (ie. on opposite side to speed selector). This gives  
access to switch.  
c. place strobe disc on turntable and switch to 33 rpm. By observing disc, any speed  
deviation can be noted, but be aware of fluctuation in mains frequency.  
d. consult table and according to speed error choose correct setting on switch by  
pushing from on to off position by toothpick. This is largely a matter of trial and  
error.  
e. 45 rpm will be automaticly corrected. Turntable is set already in factory for 33  
and  
45 rpm.

V. USE OF CLAMP  
The function of the clamp is to press the record close to the platter mat, thus  
minimising vibration between record and platter and decreasing warps of record itself.  
1. position metal disc over spindle on top of mat.  
2. place record on spindle.  
3. gently screw clamp onto spindle while steadying platter and edge of record with  
fingers.  
4. clamp should be tightened so that rim of record touches mat. Continue tightening  
until rim of record starts to rise, at which point release clamp slightly.  
5. with very bent records pay particular attention to highest point of rim.  
With a little practise use of clamp soon becomes second nature.  
Note: If clamp is inadequately tightened, inner grooves are out of contact with mat  
and if overtightened outer grooves are visibly raised. Slight cracks on the  
middle of record (around the hole) might occur.

VI. GENERAL MAINTAINANCE  
1. Dust with a soft cloth and any oil stains can be removed with detergent or alcohol.  
2. Cleaning pulleys and belt:  
This should be done occasionally (3 to 6 months) according to regularity of use.  
a. remove platter to gain access to belt and pulleys. Remove belt. Switch on motors,  
clean surfaces of pulleys and subplatter with cotton bud moistened with alcohol.  
By hand rotate subplatter and clean it.  
b. moisten cloth with alcohol and pull belt throught cloth to clean (ensure that  
hands  
are clean and grease free.  
3. Cleaning of mat:  
a. remove platter from turntable  
b. squeeze alcohol onto mat until whole surface is wet.  
c. with a toothbrush brush out from centre until alcohol evaporates.  
4. Check oil in bearing:  
The level of oil is not so critical due the use of metal versus non metal sliding  
materials. However, the level of oil should be just under the height of ruby ball  
and cca 2 mm height in the middle of lower bath.

VII. MINOR PROBLEMS  
If any problem occur with your turntable do not hesitate to contact your dealer. It  
may, however, he convenient to be able to make a few checks and adjustments  
yourself.  
1. Immobile subchassis  
- check turntable has been unpacked correclty,  
- check tension of tonearm cable  
- check clearance between subchassis and baseplate  
- check that nothing else is touching subchassis  
2. Platter does not rotate  
- check mains. Is red light showing on at front panel and is green for 33 and orange  
for 45 rpm.  
- remove platter and check that belt is correclty positioned. When hight is adjusted,  
edge of subchassis will be pushing belt up, because weight of platter will put  
subchassis in correct height. Motors should rotate clockwise.  
3. Slow start  
- clean belt and check oil in bearing. If there is a fault in power supply consult  
your dealer. Check cable conection.

VIII. TRANSPORT AND PACKING  
Preparing a functioning turntable for short transport.  
You may wish to transport your turntable for short distances in a car (preferably on a  
seat). In which case the following precautions should be taken:  
1. remove platter and place it its box. Remove belt.  
2. remove tonearm counterweight and secure arm rest with tape, elastic band or foam  
insert.  
3. remove subplatter, clean oil and put in in its box. See Note  
4. disconnect cable to PS and turntable.  
5. Put some foam between subchassis and baseplate  
6. Tilt of turntable can be only cca 15°, due oil spills.  
For longer transport we suggest to put baseplate and subchassis also in original boxes.  
When you take off subchassis suspension oil wells are automatically sealed. In case  
the base plate is inadvertently held verticaly or upside down for more t han a moment,  
it should be then left for 12 hours in horisontal position before use. Of course first you  
must remove oil from the shaft and be shure that ruby ball which is not fixed is  
protected.  
NOTE: it is possible that ruby ball stays in side of subplatter. If that happened, shake  
subplatter and catch ball.
