The BEOGRAM 1200 has built-in anti-skating feature, without visible weights etc. The top hori
zontal hall beering of the pickup has ,nclined roller paths to neutralize the skating effect.
lThe skating effect is the force which, on an entirely smooth disc, would cause the stylus to pull
towards the centre
—
on your records, this would correspond to unequal stylus pressure on the twQ
groove walis and hence a difference in reproduction between the two channelsl.

you can easily modify your BEOGRAM 1200 for connec
tion to a high-impedance hi-f i amplifier.
