2. ASSEMBLING THE HW-19 MK-4

YOUR CHASSIS HAS AN ACRYLIC MOTOR BOARD, DO NOT PEEL OFF THE

PROTECTIVE PAPER COVERING UNTIL DIRECTED.

 While the chassis is leaning against the carton or other support, remove the tonearm

board by unscrewing the six Phillips-head screws with a #2 Phillips screwdriver. Be

careful not to lose the washers found beneath the heads of the screws. Set the

armboard, screws, and washers’ aside for now.

 If your arm board has a protective paper covering, DO NOT REMOVE IT!

 The next step is to place the chassis in the base. The base should be arranged so

that as you face it, the motor pulley is at the left rear. Be especially careful when

putting the chassis in place to allow the pulley to fit through the hole. If the chassis

comes to rest on top of the pulley or if the edge of the hole catches the pulley, the

pulley and motor shaft may be damaged.

 As you have discovered, the chassis is quite heavy. It is important to lower it into

the base carefully. The best way to lift the chassis is to use the Motor Cover Plate

and the tone arm hole (beneath the tonearm board) as handholds. Lift the chassis

up and lower it straight down into the base.

 Center the top plate within the base by sliding it about as necessary. There should

be an even clearance on all four sides. This is not super-critical. So long as no side

of the chassis touches the base, satisfactory performance will be obtained.

 Remove the Motor Cover Plate by unscrewing the three caps on top. There is an

internal tooth lock washer atop each of the cover’s support posts (beneath the plate).

Be sure not to lose these caps.

 If you have not done so already, remove the final corrugated sheet from the carton.

Carefully take out the Mk.-4’s platter and slip its plastic bag off. Place the platter on

a clean, flat surface for now.

 Going back to the chassis, clean the spindle with a clean, lint-free cloth. Your

chassis has an acrylic motor board, peel off the protective paper covering it. Hold

the platter, remove the tape and carefully lower it so that the spindle goes through

the platter’s center hole. Please be very careful when doing this. Resist the

temptation to drop the platter onto the spindle. Give the platter a good spin by hand.

It should spin freely as if there were no friction and it should take quite a while to

slow down and come to a stop.

 Fit the belt around the outside of the platter. Next, pull the portion of the belt that is

adjacent to the motor pulley and stretch it to fit around the motor pulley’s top (smaller

diameter) groove. Replace the Motor Cover Plate. Make sure each post has a lock

washer atop it before putting the Cover Plate in place. Making the caps finger-tight

is all that is required.
