Tracking Force
The
tracking force
can be adjusted by rotating the to-
nearm counterweight (
➔
Fig. 9
). The closer the counter-
weight is to the cartridge, the higher the tracking force.
The correct tracking force can be set with the help of
the
stylus gauge.
Lower the tonearm lift, move the to-
nearm out over the platter and carefully lower it until the
stylus of the pick-up cartridge comes to rest on the sty-
lus gauge. The stylus guard must be removed for this
procedure.
Great care should be taken to avoid damaging the
stylus.
The
recommended tracking force
range for the TP 90/
TAS 267 combination is
18 to 20 mN
(1.8 to 2.0 g).
Do not move the ring that sits around the middle of
the tonearm tube (

Page 30, Fig. 8
).
It serves as a vi-
bration damper and is effective only at its original
position.
