Kuzma STOGI REF 313 110513 - Manual (Page 14)

7.2. Broken bias thread:
You will need about 100mm of thin nylon fishing line, Allen key 2.5mm and a sharp knife.
You can get bias thread as a spare part from a dealer. Remove counterweight.
With Allen key remove the screw at the point where nylon is coming out from the metal part.
Note: This does not in any way affect the bearings.
At the end of the thread is a small plastic tube to which the thread is attached. Cut
away the broken thread and tie and knot new thread around tube.
Pull thread through screw and replace screw with Allen key.
Remove broken thread at bias. It may be necessary to pull aside the black plastic slightly to do
this.
Put new thread through and replace black plastic.
Position tonearm as if in the inner groove position and pull the thread until the rod with weight
is in a horizontal position, ie. maximum bias.
Knot thread three times and trim surplus.
If absolutely necessary the length of thread can be shortened by loosening the screw at
point ‘x’ with Allen key 1.5mm and pulling the rod out slightly from the main C metal part.
7.3. Hum and buzz:
Check to ensure that grounding wire has been connected.
If using an MC transformer, try connecting ground wire to this or to the
preamplifier.
Alternatively, connect grounding wire to preamplifier and run grounding wire from the MC
transformer ground, to the ground of the preamplifier.
This can be caused by the transformer in the power amplifier being situated too close to the
cartridge or by the tonearm output cable being too close to the mains cable. If cables must be
close together, try to ensure that they cross at right angles.
7.4. Cartridge jumps in the grooves:
See if the tube can travel towards the centre of the record and check that the tube is not
restricted by the cueing device height or holder.
