Project/One DR-IIA turntable

I recently acquired a nice older Project/One turntable, the model is a DR-IIA, it is belt driven with an auto-lift/shutoff feature. I purchased a new Grado Prestige Silver cartridge that I'm running on it. I was looking for an operator manual for this turntable, particularly covering arm adjustments and was hoping someone had further information. I did what background checking I could, I believe this was made by Japanese company called C.E.C., who made this same turntable for Project/One and Sanyo. The Sanyo model was a TP-625. I checked on VinylEngine and couldn't download user manual for the Sanyo, because I wasn't registered yet. Although I have since applied, I haven't gotten a password yet to go back and download the manual. Does anyone out there have copy of this manual they could send to me - It would be greatly appreciated. I love the turntable so far!

How does yours sound? Any VTA issues with the Grado cart? I tried to mount a Nagaoka MP 110 and aside from the R channel being out (have to check on the cause) it sounded dark & muddy. The MP 110 is kind of a large bodied cartridge.

Did continuity check on cables. Sure enough, one is dead. Replacing. Any ideas on good but cheap phono cables?

Made custom cables & soldered in (after removing & replacing the bottom panel). Now I need to try to adjust the speed on this deck (running a little slow). This deck doesn't have speed control & I put a new belt on it. Any ideas how to get it up to speed?

Did you check internally underneath to see if there is a speed control potentiometer?
