The proper operation of the EL 3541 turntables involves the center rod of the take up and feed spindles. They hold the turntables raised slightly for play and record, where felt clutches furnish friction. On rewind and fast forward, a tapered end at the bottom drops the respective turntable down where the three vulcolan plugs engage the spinning drums. The whole adjustment is done with plastic washers. Here is a typical adjustment routine, however, approach with care as the adjustment may involves the bending of metal.
