Pro-Ject anti-skate weight setup

The anti-skate weight on a Pro-Ject turntable is designed to keep the stylus from tracking towards the center of the record. This is important because it helps to prevent the stylus from skipping or distorting the sound.

Here are the steps on how to set up the anti-skate weight on a Pro-Ject turntable:

1. Find the anti-skate weight. The anti-skate weight is usually located on the back of the turntable, near the tonearm. It is a small, weight with a scale on it.
2. Measure the tracking force. The first step is to measure the tracking force of your cartridge. This is the amount of force that the stylus applies to the record. You can use a tracking force gauge to measure the tracking force.
3. Set the anti-skate weight. Once you have measured the tracking force, you can set the anti-skate weight. The amount of anti-skate force you need will depend on the tracking force of your cartridge.
4. Test the anti-skate. Once you have set the anti-skate weight, you can test it. Play a record and listen for any skipping or distortion. If you hear any skipping or distortion, you may need to adjust the anti-skate weight.

Here are some additional tips for setting up the anti-skate weight on a Pro-Ject turntable:

• Be sure to use a tracking force gauge to measure the tracking force.
• The amount of anti-skate force you need will depend on the tracking force of your cartridge.
• If you are not sure how to set the anti-skate weight, you can consult the manual for your turntable.
• If you are having trouble setting the anti-skate weight, you can ask for help from a friend or a professional.

With these steps, you can easily set up the anti-skate weight on a Pro-Ject turntable. Once you have set up the anti-skate weight, your turntable will be back in good working order.

Additional information:

• The anti-skate weight is usually calibrated in grams.
• The amount of anti-skate force you need will be listed in the manual for your cartridge.
• If you are using a cartridge with a high tracking force, you will need to use a higher amount of anti-skate force.
• If you are using a cartridge with a low tracking force, you will need to use a lower amount of anti-skate force.

I hope this helps!
