New Maplenoll Ariadne owner needing advice

I have recently purchased a maplenoll ariadne. I have tried to learn a little about the table but find very little information. I know the table was discontinued in the 90's but the little i have found indicated it is a very good table. I am interested to learn if there are any tricks or problems to optimizing this table. As most of you probably know, it is an air bearing platter and tonearm. I plan on putting my zxy airy 3 on the arm once I get it set up.

Oilmanmojo: Sorry I don't ,a real kick in the keester . I just bought a digital camera that I have yet to operate. Before the final set-up a bud is to take a few disassembled Pic's to fill in the blanks. This is a huge amount of work. I think I have 40 hrs.+ more. Most is grunt work , real time consuming. I only hope the effort is worth it. The interesting matter for me is that I believe I correctly understand how these tables actually operate. Next up, the tone-arm.
