Abstract
An adjusting mechanism for altering the tilting angle of a guide rod in a plane containing the direction of movement of a pickup and orthogonal to an upper surface of a chassis has a horizontal piece having one end attached to the chassis and the other end in contact with the guide rod for biasing the guide rod toward an adjusting screw, and a vertical piece for restraining the guide rod from deflecting in a plane containing the direction of movement of the pickup and approximately parallel to the upper surface of the chassis. The horizontal piece and the vertical piece each have an upper end positioned at a lower level than the lower surface of a tray having a disk placed on a turntable.
