I use to have this arm but it was close to 30 years ago. I would try 2 grams, that is what I use on my Denon 304 and AT 33 EV. I don't use anti skate as a rule but I wouldn't worry too much if it tracks music passages. I have at least 6 test LPs and haven't used one in years, probably a bad thing. Some arms are not correctly calibrated, I have a Grace 707, which HIFI Choice found gave twice the side force indicated. If the arm is level while playing to record I wouldn't think the other is important. It is possible that the stylus is not perfectly aligned on the cantilever, this happens oftener than you might think. You might try VERY small changes in the arm orientation if possible, I think it is but has been a long time.
