RE: Temporary record skipping

Thanks for your suggestion. I contacted Mark Baker of Origin Live and he connected me to a very thorough explanation of how to adjust "side bias" (his term for anti skating):

Check side bias force is not excessive, too litte is better than too much and the "clamp ball should normally be close to the yoke (arm pivot point) rather than far out along the side bias rod.

Check the side bias wire loop wire is at the correct angle when looking down on the top of the arm. If this is angled too far back it can cause skipping on the end tracks of a record. If necessary you can bring it forward of the template position.

So I did move the clamp ball a little bit and will see if this makes any difference although it will be very hard to discern a difference as the skipping problem is very uncommon, occurring perhaps one play out of a hundred.

It's so nice to have knowledgeable people like yourself offering helpful knowledge about esoteric topics that I rarely contemplate.
