''' Entfernen der Transportsicherung:''' <br>

 +
Diese sind zu entfernen und werden zur Aufbewahrung in die 3 Löcher der
 +
Schaumstoffgummieinlage rechts neben dem Antriebsteller gesteckt.

=Tips for buying used=
 
'''1. transport lock''' <br>
 
'''Removing the transport lock:''' <br>
 
For transport protection there are 3 red marked screws under the turntable.
 
These are to be removed and are to be inserted for storage into the 3 holes of the
 
foam rubber insert to the right of the drive plate.
 
<br>
 
Attaching the transport lock:'' <br>
 
For the transport lock the 3 red marked screws under the turntable have to be
 
into the free holes around the drive plate.

'''2. 220 V unit on 230/240 V mains:''' <br>
 
Device can only be operated with 220 V (50 Hz).
 
In Europe, [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netzspannung#Normung currently] a [http://de.wikipedia.org/wiki/Netzspannung#Erh.C3.B6hung_von_220_auf_230_bzw._380_auf_400_Volt mains voltage of 230/240 V] (50 Hz).
 
This can lead to problems during operation and to a reduction of the service life.
 
Due to the increased mains voltage of 5% (230 V) or 9% (240 V), an increased heating of the
 
increased heating of the drive motor. <br>
 
Since the speed of the turntable is frequency-dependent (50 Hz), there are no problems here.
 
<br>
 
'''3. prices according to collectors catalog 2006 (see above)'''
 
<br>
 
[[Equipment condition valuation table#Stage_A|Condition A]]: 150.- €
 
[[Equipment condition valuation table#Stage_B|Condition B]]: 100.- €
 
[[Device condition rating table#Stage_C|State C]]: 50.- €
 
<br>
 
Ebay (2008) 30.- to 160.- € (condition difficult to define)
 
Is offered very often and is in my opinion for a collector a very worthwhile
 
and optically beautiful device. <br>
 
A repair is almost always more expensive than a complete unit:
 
* drive belt 10.- € to 20.- € (+postage).
 
* Repairing the plexiglass hood. (glue, abrasive...): ca. 30 € and a lot of time 
 
* needle: about 20.- € to 25. - €
 
* scanning system: ca. 50.- €
 
* headshell: 20.- €
 
* Oils, greases for bearings and dampers ...
 
I.e.: A device without headshell and scanning system, which is often offered on Ebay by dealers,
 
is then very quickly around 100, - € more expensive than expected.
