Yamamoto Sound Craft Arm lifter unit for AL-2 turntable

AL-2 is an arm lifter unit with a large hydraulic cylinder with a diameter of 16 mm. African ebony was adopted for the sleeve of the mounting part. The arm can be raised and lowered smoothly by operating a large lever. When raising the lifter, it goes up in a short time, and when lowering it comes down slowly with hydraulic pressure. Please use it for the arm that does not come with the arm lifter and the player that the lifter is defective.

If the arm is raised and lowered manually, the record may be scratched or the record needle may be hurt. An arm lifter prevents such trouble. This AL-2 lifter unit can be separated by itself, so it can be combined with most players. Please refer to the following diagram for usage.

First, put the record board on the turntable of the record player and attach the cartridge to the arm, and the needle tip is brought to the position of the inside of the record board. As shown in the figure below, the range where the lifter operates is installed to cover the top of the record board. The height adjustment is done with the height adjustment screw using the included hex wrench so that the needle tip is 5-10 mm above the record board with the lift lever raised. The height adjustment screw is not necessary to tighten because the lifter part does not take much force. Since the sleeve of the body is made of ebony, please note that it may be damaged if it is tightened too much.
When the position and height of the lifter unit are determined, fixed using the tapping screw or bolt attached to the position. You can use double-sided tape for fixing. However, please be aware that it may not be able to peel off beautifully when peeling.

The height adjustment of this machine is adjustable from 39mm to 53mm from the player board at the bottom of the arm pipe. Please check the height of the arm of the player you are using.
