corporationtshirt, stupid bloody Tuesday, man you should have seen them kicking Edgar Allan Poe.
Sorry. Couldn't help myself.
Tony, does the useful information you obtained explain "zero balancing" the tonearm first, then setting tracking weight and anti-skate?
If it does, and assuming that the cartridge alignment is correct, there is really not a lot to due after that. I would suggest using a stylus force gauge, such as a Shure SFG-2.
The Shure is inexpensive yet very effective. Although, there are other devices of this type available, the Shure is usually readily available and would work fine for your application. I don't know if I would trust the tonearm tracking weight adjustments, unless their accuracy was confirmed.
I do not believe that the Thorens tonearm of your variety utilizes a vertical tracking angle adjustment, so that would be a step that would not even be required.
