I balance my tonearm so that the stylus floats just above the vinyl surface. Then set the gauge on the counterweight to zero without turning the counterweight. Make sure the tonearm is still balanced with the stylus no more than 1-mm above the vinyl surface. If everything looks good, place the tonearm in its rest and turn the counterweight until the gauge reads the desired tracking force and you should be good to go. It works for me every time on my SL-1200 Mk2.
Good luck,
John Elison
PS. Make sure you turn off antiskating for this exercise and then make sure you turn it back on after you've finished setting tracking force.
