This will sound very stupid, but here it goes. Once the arm is balanced at 0 (sits on the record), I turn the little guage on the weight to 0, then turn the whole thing until the guage is about 2/5 of the way towards the 5. The table is level. I listened to it last night and I loved it, but I can't get it to keep going.
mmf-5 again
I'm sure I'm missing something basic here. When I balance the turntable the way the manual says with the anti-skate at 2 and the weight a little under 2 grams. As soon as I put a record on, the anti-skate pulls the arm right off the record and back to the rest. If I put the weight at 5, or the anti-skate at 1, the arm continues moving, but periodically skips back, and repeats itself over and over. Thanks for any help.
