How do I stop my tonearm from moving to the right all the way to the resting position?
It's balanced and anti-skate is 0
ok, right now its IMPOSSIBLE to balance, if i move the weight all the way in, it's still heavier on the stylus, and if i move the tonearm to the left of the middle a bit it will move all the way to the resting position


the thing on that EXCEPT the one on the left

antiskate is not mean to be on 0 but about the same as your counter weight. if you havea blank record put it on and place the needle on it then fiddle until it doesnt go in or out.

if your scratching but leave the anti skate on 0 some people think it helps stop the needle from skipping but of course it cuts into the record more

there will be a little groove dug into the resting place (not a lot u can do i hear) and it will always pull out from the vinyl now

I have this same problem but not as pronounced . . . I noticed it when I was zeroing the counterbalance weights . . . the tonearm drifts back to resting position.

The other screw vaguely hints at adjusting a screw . . . which one? the one on the very top of the pivot?
