Thanks for all the suggestions. Ashamed to admit it, but I was using the antiskate adjusting screws and didn't realize the tonearm height screws were under the rotating collar. I didn't have time tonight to see how it sounds, but will report back tomorrow night. I'm going to start with the arm high in the rear and work downwards. I'll also recheck the alignment & azimuth. I thought maybe the OM20 was a poor match, but others have said they use it (or OM30) on a Thorens with good results.

Let us know how it goes. All the best.
Thanks Chris,
Much, much better; not quite perfect, but a great improvement; maybe there's hope yet. Think I may have messed up the antiskate though as when you turn the knob the change is erratic or the gauge doesn't move at all. That's minor and I think I can fix it. Thanks again.

Hello Rob
My antiskate did that too. I'm not sure what happened but plan to eventually figure it out. It has a sticking point. For now I lift up on the knob to get it past the "sticking" point. You can see the magnet cylinder move in response to the knob on the inner part of the arm near the pivot. I'll let you know if I figure out how to get it back to how it was(start a topic at the top of the page) or you do the same.It really is satisfying to figure these things out and I'm pleased with the music produced for having not spent much money.
Regards
Chris
