needle more than once.’ Victor records are made with the greatest care and if properly played will last indefinitely, and so to aid new customers in keeping records in good condition we offer the following suggestions:
: ; Set the regulator so that the turntable
fyour Vice V8 ‘ish of your Victrola revolves seventy-eight
times per minute, and never change it unless for some special purpose. When using Victrola and piano together, it is occasionally necessary to change the speed slightly to get the two instruments exactly in tune; and sometimes the dancers wish a little variation to suit the steps. Test the speed occasionally by placing a slip of paper under the edge of the record, and while it is playing, see that the paper revolves 78 times in one minute.
: Don’t try to drop the needle or Tungs-tone Stylus exactly into the first record groove. If you do, it is likely to make a hole, and you will hear a little “‘tick’’ when the needle passes over the spot. The proper way is to start the instrument and then wait two or three seconds until it is running at full speed (you can give the turntable a little “ push”’ to facilitate this), carefully lower the sound box so that the needle or stylus rests on the smooth outside rim of the disc; then let go and it will glide gently into the first groove of the record. Please be especially careful to place a Tungs-tone Stylus GENTLY on the record to avoid bending the point.
