Reed 2G magnetic antiskate


for the life of me, my REED 2G antiskate seems to defy me.  Using the blank disc, no adjustment seems to keep the arm from skating inward....I have tried some other, audible tests of antiskate, and cant detect any change....any advice or thoughts?

The magnet or magnetS have to be apposed to each other (magnets) or to something ferrous (magnet), in order to exert a force. Maybe your device is misaligned internally where you cannot see the problem, such that there is no force created. Or permanent magnets can lose their magnetic property over time or if subjected to physical trauma.

Both of my cartridges have line contact styli. I have read they are less sensitive to skating  forces. 

"how can magnets NOT work?"

That's because "nobody knows what magnets are".  Right? smiley  Sorry, couldn't resist.
