Turntable Problems

Hi, this is my first post. Isn't V. Bulletin nice? So much so I've made 890 posts to another forum on a totally different topic. Enough of the boring introductions ...

I've got a Technics BD-22, like the one pictured in this auction here ...
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI....item=1372219821

There are a few problems though.

(1) The tonearm doesn't apply enough pressure, so that I have to place a coin or two on top. The quality is great, but it's still likely to skip if you apply more than the lightest touch to a record.

(2) The anti-skating appears to be set incorrectly.

I can't find any way to adjust the weight placed on the stylus (seems to be fixed?!) and adjusting the tonearm height doesn't solve anything.

I've learned just to make do, but I'm now worried that it might be damaging the occasional record. It seems to do something so that the stylus on ANY player will skip at a certain point on a record to the next track. Could this be the case?

So does anyone know how I can solve the problems with the player, as it holds the speed perfectly for a belt drive?

I understand why you'd be using that TT ( money reasons possibly ? )

but don't even consider fooling around with them!
just play the record and don't touch a damm thing apart from pitch and speed. they are fragile

Yep, money reasons indeed. If I could afford a basic pair of DD turntables then I'd get some

But needs must ...

it's totally possible to mix with decks like that BUT DON'T FOOL AROUND WITH THEM ! use them for out they are , turntables ; not in the dj sense of like touching the plater etc.
