I don't see anything about anti-skate in the service manual, and the TT says that the tracking force and anti-skate are adjusted from the factory, so I think I can't change anything about that. I should get some outer sleeves to protect the LP, though. What sleeves do you use? Almost all my LP's had sleeves when I bought them, so I never bought sleeves. |

You should be able to adjust tracking weight.....what make/model table do you have? I get my outer sleeves from my local record store, he sells them in packs of 50. They are SleeveCity brand, you can buy them direct if you can't find them at a store |

I read in some forums that it's not adjustable, like this one with the same TT: http://www.audiokarma.org/forums/archive/index.php/t-192411.html It's strange, I can only find records and TT's for sale on local stores, and this is an essencial thing. Thanks for the link. |

So on the end of the tonearm you have no dial with numbers on it like this? The small dial facing up is the anti-skate adjustment......

No, it hasn't anything like that one. It also says the value it is adjusted to. |

Ahh snap! I've been taking some quick snapshots of my two for one Kraftwerk LPs (The debut and ll), but the size of the files are always too big to squeeze into PAs picture thingy. Nuts, I was looking forward to bragging about the lovely red and green vinyl

I use photobucket to hold all my pictures, it creates a sharelink for websites. I save my pictures as .jpg to 800x600 using MS Office Picture Manager, then upload them to photobucket. Would love to see those albums!!

I have Microsoft Picture Manager on my laptop actually.
Trying very hard to communicate with it as we speak

Yeah...I just did that, but I think it's another "size" that's the problem. It's 1.37 MB and the site only allows 1.
Sorry but I am a buffoon when it comes to something like this

No worries...we will get it. If your original pic is a 1.37MB size yea that is too big for almost any website. I would not even use 1MB pic, that is why I resize them to 800x600. Once you do that process I detailed make sure and hit SAVE button on MS Office Picture Manager...That should do it for you. Then you can upload to photobucket or any photo storage site...I used the PA storage/Member Control panel option but it has issues with IE browser.

When ready you can sell your current TT and buy a pretty good one for about US$500 new or find a higher up Technics model used for about the same....Vintage TT like Dual, Thorens and even some Technics command some high prices online. My only problem with used TT is unless you can inspect it before purchasing, you have no idea of working condition...and shipping them is a PITA!! I will always buy new for a TT....Christmas is around the corner

I though about buying new too. I saw some cool TT's from Rega and Pro-ject the other day on a local store, although I don't know much about technical details. I wouldn't sell my current TT though: too much sentimental value

The absence of these adjustments likely means that your TT used p-mount cartridges, which have to be of a certain type/weight (otherwise you'd never get the tracking force right). You can't adjust p-mount cartridge in any way; it's literally plug-and-play (I know, I know .. adapters). In a way, a fully "factory adjusted" TT may be a blessing, if you want to spend your time enjoying the music rather than tinkering with overhang, azimuth and such. I had a TT like yours, and it was just fine for the purpose. You'll probably be OK. Audiophiles will tell you otherwise. |

I see you also got yourself the tone arm height adjustment thingy as well. Also, I can see the lifter to the left of the arm, but no lever; is it automatic? Also, what's she called?

I was wondering what role the "Turntable Aesthetics" plays in the overall vinyl experience.
Many people prefer minimalistic, post-industrial boutique turntables. I must say the one that Catcher10 has is an eye candy for real . But I am finding so much elegance and in those early Technics 1200 era design cues as well. Should I start a poll about what TT designs everyone prefers? |

I know terrible picture, but this effectively proves that I can post pictures (and that I have two absolutely awesome Kraftwerk LPs of course)
