Anti-skate applies an OUTWARD force to counter the inward skating force of pivoted arms. It varies with position and groove modulation. All anti-skate mechanisms are just bandaids. My FR 29 and FR 54 arms have no anti-skate and sound fine!
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.
