How to control the gramophone:
The part that holds the gramophone needles is called the Soundbox. The needles is gripped in the Soundbox by a thumbscrew, typically the needle protrudes about 1cm from Soundbox. The needle should never be placed vertically above the record, the correct angle the needle should make when playing a record is approximately 60 degrees.
Before commencing to playa record, fully wind the Gramophone. The winding handle clockwise, after awhile resistance will increase and this is the time to stop winding, the gramophone is now fully wound-up. A common worry is that Of over-winding; after feeling an increase in resistance if you continued winding you would feel solid resistance, at this point if you forced the handle around further then you would be in trouble, by it would take a conscious effort and a fair degree of force to over-wind the gramophone. As with the generation before you, don\'t worry about over-winding.
Release the manual Gramophone brake lever. When the turntable has obtained full speed gentle place the needle onto the record. Upon being fully wound a Gramophone in good condition should play at least one complete record side without the requirement for more winding during play.
When the Gramophone is not in use for awhile, let the motor run down completely and apply the brake. This takes the pressure off the main springs, - THEN, wind the handle a couple of turns to slightly tension the main spring, this will ensure that the slight chance of it becoming disconnected though vibration at one end does not occur. The main spring is packed in grease , by taking the tension off, the grease can get back within he coils and the springs life will become prolonged.
