C. Tracking Force Adjustment
The instructions with your cartridge will recommend suitable tracking forces. We
recommend you choose the highest force given and set arm to that amount. A higher
tracking force causes less damage to the record as the stylus maintains more stable
contact with the sides of the grooves.
The counterweight is marked with five red dots. (Fig. 13) One full rotation of the
counterweight increases tracking force by 0.5 grams, therefore distance from one dot
to another corresponds to 0.1 grams.
With the cueing device in the ‘up’ position and tube in armrest the counterweight is
turned anticlockwise (from front view) to increase the tracking force.
As the tonearm is now balanced, the position of one dot should be noted and taken as
zero, (any dot will do so choose the moste easily visible). Then simply turn the
counterweight anticlockwise counting each dot that passes that position as an
increased tracking force of 0.1 gram. For example a tracking force of 1 gram will
necessiate turning the counterweight past 10 dots or two complete turnst the
counterweight.
NOTE: An inaccuracy of a few mm. in the position of a dot is not critical.
Fixing the Counterweight
The counterweight is secured by gently turning one of the three screws M3 with the
Allen key 1.5 mm. Do not, however fix securely at this stage until tangentional
tonearm adjustments are completed.
