[QUOTE="MusicMan_ZA, post: 820908, member: 14924"] +1 On most of the tables I play with, anti-skate is either not even present, or set very, very low (0.5). This would be, in the main, for carts tracking at 1 - 1.5g (VTF). Once a cart (many older tables) track at 1.8/2+g, I personally think anti-skate is almost unnecessary. I have seen it more often than not set too high, and not adding any value - rather impeding play. Especially those hanging weight type anti-skate efforts - I love (looking at) them, but I set them to almost zero. Oh, and the other thing that I have found, a few times, causing a "backwards skip" was impeded tone-arm wires below deck. Just my observations, and may not be your truth :-) :thumbs: [/QUOTE]
