Checking Anti-Skate?

Onhwy61, I actually use a 360 degree rotary builders level. I place it on the rack next to the turntable, set the height of the laser to the centerline of the tonearm (at the gimbal), then raise or lower the back of the arm, setting VTA. I can then confirm the adjustments by tilting the head of the builders level to match the angle of the tonearm. It then provides me with a measurement in degrees.

It is incredibly accurate. Although my ears are what actually confirm my adjustments, the laser is a great way to dial it in and get you in the ballpark.

And, you are not going to answer my question or just don't have any info on a measuring device?

I'm always nice to you......??????

Sidssp, I know it's not right. But at the time, it was the only method I had. That's why I'm looking for a measuring device. Does one exist?

Sidssp, The Wally tool IS the tool I was looking for. I can confirm every adjustment on this table except for anti-skate.
Great info, Thanks.

Onhwy61, The laser level was something I came up with while remodeling my house. I purchased the tool to assist throughout the remodeling process. It's a very cool tool. The house is very cool also. Before I purchased it, it was featured on a television show on HGTV. The name of the show was "This Old Piece Of Shit". But, it's gettin' there.

Eldartford, 5-6 grams of stylus pressure? Was that one of those turntables with the crank on the side?

And also, I recognize the Shure test disc that you suggested. In fact, I think I know of someone who still has it. I forgot all about it. You know his phone will be ringin'.

Thanks to everyone for their suggestions, I really do appreciate it. Ed.

Eldartford, What would that tracking weight convert to in pennies?

And is there such a thing as Audiophile quality nickels? Like maybe cryo treated? : )

It almost like turning your turntable into a record lathe. I wonder if you see small vinyl shavings curling up behind the stylus while your tracking at that pressure? : )
