7) Setting the tracking force
Three different counter-weights are delivered with the SIMPLICITY II. They fit for light, medi-
um, and heavy cartridges. The counter-weight is moved towards the cartridge for increasing
the tracking force and away from the cartridge for reducing it. Please use a proper tonearm-
gauge to measure the tracking force. One or two additional eccentric pieces are to be at-
tached to the counter-weight to ensure the constancy of the tracking force across the record
surface.
1)
Please choose the size of the counter-weight fitting your cartridge. Mount the slim-
mest eccentric piece using the fitting screw.
2)
Carefully attach the counter-weight-assembly to the main tonearm unit. Move to-
wards the cartridge to lower the tracking force. If you cannot reach the tracking
force wanted choose another counter-weight. Use the two locking screws to lock the
position of the assembly.
3)
Use the eccentric piece to ensure the constancy of the tracking-force. Turn it accord-
ing to the illustrations below. If the constant tracking force cannot be reached,
choose the thicker eccentric piece or both of them.

Move clockwise if the track-
ing-force decreases towards
the center.
Move anti-clockwise if the
tracking-force increases to-
wards the center.
