one needs to be tighten more.  Be 
careful not to tight the hex bolts to 
much, the pulley threaded hex bolt 
holes could be damaged 

SPEED VARIATIONS 

The turntable speed vary 
up and down continuously 

 

[The AC synchronous motors 

speeds can be affected only by the 
HERTZ or eventually by the dimension 
of the pulleys

 

 

Any speed variation with a 

fixed pulley dimension is caused by your 
AC power national supplier or by your 
home AC system, check it out

Bellavista

 Italian Prestige Rigid Turntable 

 

 

SYNPTOM 

DESCRIPTION 

CAUSE 

REMEDY 

SPINDLE (of the Platter): 
CLAMPING THE 
PLATTER SPLIT SPINDLE 
TO THE PLATTER 

The Platter wobbles on its 
edges or it vertically 
shakes during playing 

 

Clamp the Spindle tip into the 

above side of the platter  screwing it 
strongly using a metal pin to get into the 
tip hole

 

 

 

 

 

 

If the strongly clamp screwing 

of the spindle tip does not fix the platter 
enough, the platter hole is been enforced 
after final user assembling

 

 

It needs to be substituted by 

your local de aler 

SPINDLE (of the Platter): 
INSERTING THE 
PLATTER SPLIT SPINDLE 

The Spindle does not fit 
into the Platter Central 
Hole 

 

 

 

Unscrewing the tip, split the 2 

pieces Spindle and fit the bottom part 
of the spindle into the platter through 
the gold plated weigh ts side, clamp the 
Spindle tip into the above side of the 
platter screwing it strongly using a 
metal pin to get into the tip hole 

SPINDLE/BEARING (of the 
Platter) NOISE 

The Spindle makes noise 
during platter spinning 

 

The Platter Bearing/Spindle 

system are very dirty making a too strong 
friction  

 

 

 

 

 

The Platter Bearing/Spindle 

system are new and they need a break in 
time to sweep out all the internal 
unwanted particles 

 

After a couple of weeks of 

playing clean and re-wet them with 
some fresh oil supplied 

SP INDLE (of the Platter): 
TIP OF THE DIAMETER 

The Records hardly fit into 
the Platter Spindle Tip 

 

Bluenote Platter Spindle Tips 

have a 7,2mm of diameter that is the 
recognised international standard but 
many records are wrongly moulded 

 

Sorry you need to enforce the 

record into the Platter Spindle Tip  

SWITCHING ON/OFF 
BUMP 

The turntable bumps any 
time is switched ON or 
OFF 

 

It is important to notice that it 

does not produce any risk even if the 
bump is high, but if you have a turntable 
with a serial number before 11650 

 

Ask your local dealer to add a 

proper ceramic capacitor able to filter 
such noise 

SPEAKER HUMMING 
PROBLEMS 

The speakers hum when 
the turntable is connected 
to the system  

 

The Turntable CAN NOT 

makes any noise hearable into the 
speaker by itself 

 

Eventually a tone arm cable 

problem can occur; please check other 
ways out 

TURNTABLE (THE) DOES 
NOT START WHEN THE 
TURNTABLE IS 
SWITCHED ON 

 

 

The AC turntable plug is 

disconnected from the AC wall plug

 

 

Connect it being sure that the 

AC wall plug works 

 

The Turntable just does 
not start 

 

Have you wrapped the Belt 

around the Pulley and the Platter 
properly  

 

If not just do it
