Got my recently purchased RD-11S today...not Superieur as buyer indicated.
Two problems areas:1. I have tuned many suspensions on both Thorens and AR tables. I cannot get the 11S to the point where the inner platter is more than an eighth to quarter inch above the metal plinth. I tightened the springs waaay overboard, and it barely changes. Is there somethign else I need to do to raise the platter level. I see several screws on the plinth...does that raise and lower it? There are two nuts down below. Does that affect it? Could it be the metal suspension apparatus is bent??? If I push real hard on it, the platter bearing well does rise up?
2. Never having seen/worked on an Ariston, I am wondering if the correct pulley came with it, or if it is missing something. The pulley just desn't seem tight enough on the motor spindle...it slips once the outer platter is in place. I know the belt is slightly worn, could it be a tight belt puts enough pressure to hold the pulley in place on the spindle??? Seems weird???
Thanks for any help to be offered. Again, I have tuned many springed tables...so no need to refer me to Analog dept.
Follow Ups:
Dave,Are you certain that you don't have a RD11 Superieur, I believe that some were branded RD11S in the states. The reason I ask this is that I have an RD11 Superieur and the platter height adjustment screws are on the top of the plinth only the Superieur version has this.
Things to check are:
1) Does it have a one piece platter (RD11 Superieurs do)
2) Does it have an outboard PSU (RD11 Superieurs do)
If it turns out to be a Superieur then I have a manual I could copy.
Can you provide me a copy of the manual, pleaseeee!
Regards,
Jorge
This has the two piece platter.PSU is onboard.

If there is someone who could email a pic of the motor/spindle/pulley assembly, that would help a lot.Also, anyone know where to find a manual online...or have on in pdf form??
