Anti-Skat on the EAT F-Note Tonearm


I have a dilemma with the Anti-Skating mechanism on the F-Note tonearm. There's three different positions that the weight can be connected to put an outward force on the tonearm. Regardless which position I put the counterweight in, when the tonearm is at the end of the LP, it bounces back and the stylus lands in one of the grooves in the last song. I think I need more force inward.

Minimal outward force is needed to properly offset the skating force that exists due to the overhang of the cartridge.  Your description of the outward jump indicates one of two things (maybe three).  First is that your tracking force might not be adequate and worth rechecking.  I would place the Anti-skate weight as close to the pivot as possible - first notch.  Double check that the TT itself is level.  If the VTF is correct, antiskate is set to its minimal setting, deck is level, and this backwards “jump” continues to occur there is a defect in the arm to address.
