    geoff was right as it states use the circle marked dial when using a spherical stylus and the other one for when using a shibata stylus.

Having used Marcos suggestion I am pretty happy for now sweet as just a bloody perfectionist that's all. Appreciated
    Hi Peter,

    IIRC the deck came from the factory, in those territories were it came with a cartridge, with a Z2s which had a spherical stylus. the inner, or solid black scale is for those and the outer or outline scale is for elliptical or line contact types, such as JVC's own Shibata profile. If you look at the end of the scale on the knob in question, there will be a dot for spherical and and an ellipse for line contact etc. this will tell you which to use. My excuse for not remembering is that it was a bloody long time ago

    BTW what cartrige are you intending to use with it?
