ItвЂ™s always better to have a bit less anti-skate force applied than too much. I would then suggest just setting the anti-skate dial to a bit less than the tracking force to allow for the discrepancy. If it drifts back all the way to the arm rest, but barely, then it would be the equivalent of 1/2 gram. If itвЂ™s only during the inner half of the record, then it would be the equivalent of about 1/4 gram anti-skate force. Wind forward to the mid noughties, Linn seemed to have got it sorted - the LP12 had closely toleranced and harder plinth blocks which didn't need the fixing nuts tightend to within a millimetre of their lives, the Ekos and Akito were made of something rather stronger than plasticene and common sense ruled IMO. No tonearm cable is included.Turntable has pre-Cirkus bearing and Valhalla power supply. Rather than trying to alter spring tensions and alignments, that the customer try to determine if the turntable is level first (not the plinth, but the platter and arm board), and then see if the arm drift occurs only for the last half of the record area, or over the entire range from the arm rest all the way to the spindle. Up for sale is a Linn Sondek LP12 turntable with Jelco SA-250 tonearm.Turntable has been very well taken care of, in excellent cosmetic condition and perfect working order. Some amount of anti-skate compensation would be expected by the arm manufacturer, so perhaps less precise design was used (cost reduction) that applied correct pressure within the normal range, but didnвЂ™t fully disengage at the extreme end of the arm travel.ДЄnother thing to remember is that the arm/turntable need to be perfectly level, otherwise there may be some gravitational pull due to the bearings not being in an equal horizontal plane. So to use the Jelco arm I will need to have an adapter bushing made or a whole new mounting collar to fit the Lenco chassis. The Lenco inside diameter of the mounting collar measured 1.025' or 26mm.

This arm was carefully taken out of a Linn. Presenting a terrific Linn Basik LV V Tonearm for sale. However, the OEM arm made for AR, Revolver, Mission and others may not have been exactly the same and itвЂ™s possible that there might be a slight anti-skate compensation applied near the inner groove area if it isnвЂ™t able to fully disengage itself. The Linn Ittock measures 63/64' or just shy of Linns stated diameter of 25mm. The Basik LVV like all of the low cost Jelco type arms that were made in the 80s for companies like Linn and. flatpopely, 31 Chas B pfm Member Anyone tried a Jelco ie 750D Chas B, 32 suzywong Wot, no electrons all you really need is. In the вЂњzeroвЂќ position, the spring wire does not make contact with the rotating arm pivot, so there should be no anti skate force normally applied. Linn Ittok LVII Linn Ekos I Naim ARO Linn Ittok LVII By some margin the Ittok is the most enjoyable.

Jelco tonearmВ anti-skate design on the current tonearm models SA-250ST, SA-250, SA-750 is simple, yet quite precise.
