Tracking Force
The tracking force can be adjusted by rotating the to-
nearm counterweights (

Fig. 8
). The closer the coun-
terweights are to the pick-up cartridge, the higher the
tracking force. The smaller, eccentric weight is used to
adjust the azimuth (

Page 32
). It should sit as close as
possible to the large weight without touching it.
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 for the TP 82/TAS
257 (MM) combination is 23 mN (2.3 g).
Do not move the ring that sits around the middle of
the tonearm tube (

Page 30, Fig. 7
). It serves as a vi-
bration damper and is effective only at its original
position.
