MBS: From your description I'm not quite sure, whether your conclusion is correct. I.e., when you write that the cantilever leans inward to the label, do you mean it looks like this: "_" (due to the lack of suitable characters, this is reversed, i.e. looking back to front, so that the label would be to the right)? Or does it rather look like that: "_"? Because the former case (cantilever pointing inwards) would rather already indicate too much anti-skating.Greetings from Munich!

edit: Unfortunately the editor ruins my "drawings" - so please simply imagine two more underscores, a slash and three more underscores in the first one - and the same, just with a backslash instead, in the second one...

This is not my cartridge, but this illustrates what I'm referring to. This is what mine is doing, though not to this extreme. The headshell is pulling toward the label. The cantilever leans inward. If the cantilever was a falling tree, it would fall on the label, not on the edge of the record. Thus, not enough anti-skate.
MBS: That's correct. I guess the problem simply was that you chose to describe, where the back end of the cantilever was leaning/pointing to - rather than the front end, which one would usually expect. Hence also my failed try to clarify that with two simple text character drawings.
But with your picture it's now clear what you meant - and yes, a cantilever deflection in that direction (back end inwards, front end outwards) would indeed indicate too little antiskating.
Greetings from Munich & sorry for the confusion!
