Re: don't use soap try the allmighty penny.

Thanks for the suggestions.

I know the table I'm using is fine. It's just that once I get halfway into a side, I'm into the area where the label would be on an LP. By the time I get close to the end, it's skating all over the place no matter what I do. I discovered that aligning the cartridge with the end of a side in mind helped the skating problem. It's fairly far off at the beginning of a side, but it seems to work better this way. The extra force is partly because of operator error with the lathe. The author of the records complains that the records skip because he can't figure out the best setting and the chip (the string of laquer cut from the record) keeps getting in the way. The extra force helps keep the stylus from wandering in shallow grooves, and also seems to reduce surface noise.
