Need help with anti-skating on Technics SL-1210GR


Hi, I have a Lyra Delos on my 1210GR. When using a blank record or doing the end-of-grooves technique the arm continue to go towards the center unless I have the anti-skating set to 3. I can drop the arm at the beginning of a blank disk and it will move towards the center until I turn the anti-skating all the way up to 3. Repeatable every time.

Do I have a faulty anti-skating? Should I leave it at 3?

I have confirmed the weight at 1.75 with two different scales. I’m also pretty sure the alignment and overhang are correct although I’m not an expert at doing the last two.

Any suggestions?

Thanks for the tip on the TEST LP. The TT is perfectly level and the armtube is parallel to the record surface. Do you think a mis-aligned cartridge or incorrect overhang could cause this behavior? I used the protractor but it's not always easy to tell when you have it right.
