Thx
Actually, no. For transportation, there are four substantial screws that you secure the arm carrier with from below, as well as two specially molded plastic spacers... The pin is used only to hold the carrier from moving while table is not in use/play mode. It is so skimpy, that I wonder what they were thinking about. It appears that most tables have them broken off or missing altogether.
How do you like your table?

its a good tt but not as wonderful as the BAS Speaker review of the phase linear 8000a (the same tt) glowed about. my grace 707 on a kenwood kd500 revealed the diffs between cartridges more apparent.
it is nice to have auto shutoff and tangent tracking is my favorite method and has some real advantages. when i fleck of food causes a locked groove (quite common) i would switch off the tt drive and cuing to prevent the arm raising.
then i rotate the platter until the fleck JUST passes the stylus and its accompanying thup (the sound made by the fleck), and then rotate the platter far enough to scrape the fleck off with my fingernail.
this usually has the affect of completely removing the particle and leaves the groove dead quiet afterwards.
the advantage of tangential tracking here is that the stylus doesnt jump a groove as an arm with an antiskating device built in.
i had many happy hours with my pio but when i had the opportunity to snag my sota sapphire for a great price, i didnt hesitate.

Hello and Happy New Year!
I found all the parts. Actually got it going. Got the service manual, till have to re-adjust the zero position, but it is playing. It is ok with the Signet MM I have, but it is a disaster with the OC-9. All in all I am somewhat disappointed with the sound this thing produces. Really mediocre mid-fi from the 70s - early 80s. I am surprised to hear how much praise this thing got. It is as colored as a rainbow, with a multitude of ringings and resonances. Ok, I tried, out it goes!
i used one with pretty good success, it sounded great (within the limits of its capability). actually it was more than ok. i could easily discern one cart from another but my grace 707/kd500 combo was much more revealing.
