QUOTE: Originally posted by Gourdfather I just got a Heljan #804 manual turntable (on sale, fits my budget, I'll live with it [:)] BUT, the instruction SHEET is sorely lacking. Does anyone know what order, and which direction all the bottom plates, shim plates, intermediate plates, etc, etc go on?? It has a poor pic, but I can't tell which side of the plate shuld be up, which ones are above the pit and which ones are below.....I guess i'm getting too old for this!! :) Any help would be greatly appreciated!!! TIA, John

QUOTE: Originally posted by gsetter The older models index at every 30 degrees and the later models index at 15 degree. At some point the latest models also automatically reverse polarity.
