Set up Michell Technoweight

I can't for the life of me figure out how to set it up properly for my Rega Planar 2 with rb250. The arm keeps floating to the right and I can't figure out how to set up the VTF. I never used a rega before, my other turntable was a music hall. Thanks for any help!

What cratrideg are you using? It may be too light for use with the Technoweight. I had one on a RB600 with a Lyra LydianB and it has been a while but I seem to remember having an issue with this. If the weight is as close to the tonearm base as you can get it, then try adding a small
weight, for trial purposes only, and see if the headshell
drops to prper tracking height. If that solves it you can order some headshell weights...

as an example.

Bluedeni, sorry I hadn't looked at ths thread in a few days. What happens when you remove all the anti-skate?
I remeber when I set mine on the P25 I removed the mat and used the glass platter and adjusted the antiskate based upon arm movement rather than numerical setting.
But as mentioned it has been a while since I have owned this combo. But one thing that is etched in my memory, is that once I got the Technoweight set up, I loved the sound it brought forth. A much deeper and much more controlled bass response. I added a number of tweaks to that table, and the Technoweight was the one that had the biggest positive effect on the performance. So hang in there you are on the right path.
