Ah! This makes sense. When my expert set up my new cartridge and tone arm he set it in the middle of the recommended range for the Soundsmith "The Voice" cartridge: 1.3 to 1.6 gram. Perhaps moving it up to 1.6 will make a difference. I will try this and report back. But first I have to buy a stylus force gauge.

No it doesn't make sense. If your tracking weight was the cause then the skips would appear at any point on the disc. But you say it is only towards the side end. I and Opus 33 1/3 have pointed out the likely reason. Of course if somehow your VTF becomes lighter as the arm tracks the record then adjusting the weight would be sensible. However you would need to do this actively throughout the side as it would start correct at the beginning. Not feasible.

I'm afraid that I did not make this clear in my original post: though the most recent skipping occurred towards the side end, I have had other incidents occurring at different tracks of a record. It's not consistent.
Well, I have already ordered the pressure gauge and will check out the setting when it arrives.
