@jasonbourne71 And If I were you I would throw those tonearms away or put them up on a shelf for display. There is no such thing as accurate antiskating, but having it is WAY better than not. Without it you will constantly mistrack the left channel and prematurely wear out your records and stylus. I have also seen that approach permanently ruin cartridges within a year by causing a permanent cantilever deflection towards the left channel.
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.

@drrsutliff is correct. The problem is not your antiskating. There is something else wrong. Check to see if you can swing the arm over the spindle. If you hit a hard stop something is blocking inward travel of the arm and it is hopping out of the groove. Once the arm loses contact with the groove it is always going to hop backwards. |
