The cartridge-speed-setting-meter for the Beaulieu 1028 XL 60, 1018 SX 8 and 1008 XL - side view: The meter oscillates from the black position (=no cartridge inserted) to the hatched position (a "little bit" exaggerated - cartridge with highest ASA-rating inserted). The oscillation is caused by the cartridge moving the two spikes. (The 1008 XL only seem to have one spike?!) The meter seems to measure the cartridge's speed by the degree of the oscillation. Hence it's most likely that these Beaulieus really can handle a 64-ASA-nodge correctly (as stated in the manual).
