There seems to be a little confusion here about which direction anti-skate works in.How about a little experiment.
Set the antiskate control on you arm to 0.
Then set the Tracking froce to zero (i.e., the arm is free floating)
Next, turn the antiskate control to a non- zero value. I believe you will find that the arm moves toward the arm-rest, not to the center of the table. This suggests to me that, when playing a record, the force due to the rotation of the turntable, is pulling the arm/cart toward the centre, and the anti-skate is adjusted to provide an equal and opposite force by pulling in the opposite direction.
Or am I missing something here???

I went to a restaurant that serves "breakfast at any time". So I ordered French Toast during the Renaissance.
