Help with problem setting up Phantom I tonearm?

After making all of the adjustments, tracking force, VTA, leveling platter, as outlined in the set up manual the arm has a very strong tendency to skid tangentially (toward the outer edge of the record) on the last track or two of the LP. this is even with barely any anti-skating force dialed in. Additionally, the same thing happens with the ram resting on the cueing device. It has a strong tendency to swing out. Suggestions?

Dear Sbrown,

I wish I had communicated with you earlier, I wouldn't be waiting for my hair to grow back in now. Although I had checked levels (there was a discrepancy between the level of the platter and arm board while on a common plinth! - VPI-19), removed the demoing fluid, removed the anti-skating from the arm altogether and raised the tracking force (only slightly) your fix was simple and an IMMEDIATE remedy.
I wonder how you ever figured this out as there is very little discussion on this element of in the instruction manual?

Hats off to you - Cheers
