I have the manual but it does not mention this one particular issue. I'm afraid if I unscrew the screw all the way stuff is going to fall out. They do mention that they make another screw for anti skating forces greater than 2.3 gram tracking forces. Must have a bigger magnet.
Reed makes some excellent arms. I went with the Schroder because it is lighter and works better with the Sota's suspension, the tonearm leads exit from under the arm which also works better with the Sota. Sotas do not like VTA towers. I wouldn't use it anyway. I am a set it and forget it kind of guy. The Schroder's post is graduated so it is easy to return to a given value.
