SME 309 Headshell Postition

Hey Folks,

For the first time I removed the headshell from my 309 so I could send my Kleos in for a checkup. Upon reinstalling said Kleos and pushing in the headshell I noticed a spring action. Do I push against the spring action and tighten or not? It's another one of those procedures where we humanoids need another arm/hand combo.

Thanks,
Robert A. Ober

You push it in to contact/compress the springs. Then align the bolt with the slot in the front of the arm.

Vinyl Engine has the owner's manual. Page 15 shows the headshell install details.

Robert, I'm sorry but the owner's manual is VERY specific on how to do this. Read numbered pictures 115, 116, 117, and 118. This tells you EXACTLY how to do it. Not sure why you're having trouble?
