One turn counterclockwise is what others have done I think. I am experimenting with using and not using the devise and have found the table to sound great with nothing, not even the wire twist. Stringreen has been advocating this for a while and I'm inclined to agree. As you saw on the Fremer video, Antiskate is hard to get right because it is subject to so many variables. I think the reason it sounds fine without it is that it's never "right" even when you make a diligent effort to employ it. Getting the VTF, azimuth, alignment and VTA right will get you much further.
Help VPI Scoutmaster anti-skate issue
I moved my Scoutmaster and in the process bumped the anti-skate device. Now the arm will not move beyond the halfway point of outer edge to spindle (i.e. can't play more than a few songs) because the arm hits the string.
Looking at the arm in its safety rest towards the pivot there are two round knob-like extremeties. One of these is hitting the string as the arm rotates. For the life of me, I can't figure out what's wrong. I tried watching Fremer's DVD for some frame of reference but the chapter on anti-skate doesn't actually show positioning of the device as the arm rotates.
I realize this must be simple, but having a hard time here, so if someone can point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks!
