Tune from America put on a record-player ahead of time (6)
I believe the answer is:
adjust
'tune' is the definition.
(thesaurus)
'america put on a record-player ahead of time' is the wordplay.
'america' becomes 'us' (abbreviation for the United States**).
'put on' is a charade indicator (letters next to each other).
'record player' becomes 'dj'.
'ahead of time' becomes 't' (I've seen this in other clues).
'a'+'dj'='adj'
'us' put after 'adj' is 'adjus'.
'adjus'+'t'='ADJUST'
'from' acts as a link.
(Other definitions for adjust that I've seen before include "Alter by small amount to make right for use" , "Make small changes" , "Modify - tweak" , "Adapt to new conditions" , "Adapt (oneself)" .)
