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,

Push the headshell in untill before spring action of the pins.Then put the locking allen bolt in the headshell's hole and gently push the headshell again further back.When the springs are compressed the bolt will fall through the slot by itself.Then tighten the bolt.Make sure the locking nut at the bottom side of the headshell is in place.Although glued,these sometimes fall.
