Page 5: Anti-Skating
AllegroSound.com ANTI-SKATING: One of the least understood forces acting on a tonearm is anti-skating. Skating force is created by friction between the stylus and the record creating a force vector in a direction towards the center of the record. Putting a stylus down on a flat grooveless record will cause the arm to shoot in toward the center of the record. - Page 6 Move the cartridge so that the stylus rests on the dot. Now, viewing the cartridge from above, line it up so that its sides are symmetrically positioned between the lines of the grid. If the cartridge has parallel sides, these should be made parallel to the grid lines. Also make sure that the cartridge is centered between the sets of lines.
- Page 7 AllegroSound.com ADDING DAMPING OIL: Among the things you unpacked earlier was a "Q" tip. Take this and sweep out the well around the pivot in the arm base assembly. After this is done, throw out the swab. Find the bottle of special damping fluid. Remove its cap and put in enough damping fluid to fill the cup 3/4 full.
