The anti-skate weight on a Pro-Ject turntable is designed to keep the stylus from tracking towards the center of the record. If the anti-skate weight falls off, it can cause the stylus to track incorrectly, which can damage your records.
Here are the steps on how to fix a Pro-Ject anti-skate weight that falls off:
- Identify the problem. The first step is to identify the problem. Is the anti-skate weight simply loose, or is it broken? If the anti-skate weight is loose, you can tighten it. If the anti-skate weight is broken, you will need to replace it.
- Tighten the anti-skate weight. If the anti-skate weight is simply loose, you can tighten it by turning the screw that holds it in place. Be careful not to over-tighten the screw, as this could damage the anti-skate weight.
- Replace the anti-skate weight. If the anti-skate weight is broken, you will need to replace it. You can purchase a replacement anti-skate weight from Pro-Ject or from a third-party retailer.
- Realign the anti-skate weight. Once you have replaced the anti-skate weight, you will need to realign it. This is done by adjusting the screw that controls the anti-skate force. The amount of anti-skate force you need will depend on the type of record you are playing.
Here are some additional tips for fixing a Pro-Ject anti-skate weight that falls off:
- Be careful not to over-tighten the screw that holds the anti-skate weight in place.
