STEP 2

Retrieve the dropped black rubber band (the drive belt) and place it around the platter base - then pull the belt out gently without overstretching. Turn the platter over while holding on to the belt.

STEP 3

Looking through one of the holes in the platter, locate the small Brass Pulley (the pulley is attached to the turntable motor). Then proceed to hook the pulled out part of the rubber belt by hand around the Pulley and then line up the Centre of the platter with the silver turntable spindle. Lower the platter gently onto the deck and let go until it is back in position.

STEP 4

When the urntable platter is in the correct position, check the belt is still around the pulley and then replace the 'C'-clip to secure the turntable to the spindle.
