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 ...

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?
