Bought the used Philips car-radio. No manual! Found on this site a copy of the orginal English manual. I am very happy with it. Now I know how to setup and use my "new" car-radio.
Recommended site for everybody looking for a manual for (older) products!
The only reason I gave this less than 4 stars, is because it shouldn't take 24 hrs to have the download available. I was surprised to find that I had to wait until the next day to be able to download the manual that I paid for.
The manual itself is the correct manual.
Excellent replacement for original Owner´s Manual. I am totally satisfied!

Setting the Azimuth
� � Set a fireplace match or coffee stirrer (something light and about 6� long) into the groove behind the mounting screws on the tonearm headshell. If it is not level, use the supplied Allen wrench to loosen the setscrew on the counterweight and rotate the counterweight around the shaft until the headshell is parallel to the record. Be careful not to change the tracking force setting.
Playing Records
Before playing a record, make sure that all of the tonearm screws are tight. � � Place the black washer on the platter, then the record, then the record clamp. This system forces air out from under the record and creates a partial vacuum. When your release the clamp, the record does not pop up. This gives you the benefits of a vacuum without the problems or complications. Press the power button on the motor. Sit down and enjoy listening to your records!

General use
� When changing the speed of the turntable, place one finger of the right hand on the drive belt on the rear of the platter and move the belt up to increase speed or down to decrease speed with the left hand. Allow at least 20 hours of break-in time. The motor will make some low-level noise. This will not get into the system. The motor and bearings will become quieter as you use your Scoutmaster. If you notice hum in the system, remove your interconnects and replace them with standard (very cheap) VCR interconnects. These are well shielded and should eliminate the hum. If the hum goes away you need to get well shielded quality interconnects. After at least one year of use, the platter bearing and motor will need to be lubricated. For the platter bearing, use 1/4 teaspoon of white lithium grease. For the motor, use 1 drop of 40-weight motor oil below the brass piece.
