Anti-skating
The anti-skating force is adjusted with the little black handle next to the pickup lift. The amount
of antiskating force required depends on the tracking force and the shape of the stylus. Thus
no calibration is possible.
Coarse adjustment can be done with the stylus running between the grooves next to the label
of the record. Correctly adjusted, the stylus should move slowly towards the center of the
record.
Fine adjustment could be done by reducing the tracking force a little whilst listening to a
critical passage. If for instance distortion occurs in the right speaker, the handle should be
turned clockwise. (The best result is obtained with a test record). The adjustment is not
critical. It is better giving too little than too much antiskating force.
The range that the antiskating handle can move, will cover most cartridges. The tension of the
spring, however, can be altered by loosening the screw in the center of the round black pulley.
By rotating the pulley with two fingers, you can set to a new tension.

Special about PRECISION arm tubes
PRECISION arm tubes are supplied in "red" and "blue" versions only. They have a wide and
very precisely ground mounting plane to assure a good mechanical contact to cartridges
which have a similar large and accurate mounting plane. The PRECISION arm tubes are 4
mm (5/32”) longer than the standard ones in the forward direction.

Special about 12” armtubes
In the section mounting the bushes it is described how the position of the 20 mm (13/16 “)
hole is found. For 12” armtubes the distance from the center of the hole to the center of the
turntable patter should be 294.1 mm (11 9/16”).
If the arm bush is mounted exactly at above distance from the center of the turntable platter,
the stylus should be positioned just under the front edge of the black plane of the arm tube.
After mounting, check that the overhang - 13.3 mm (17/32”) - is correct and adjust if
necessary.
