I should have a table here shortly to see what's going on, but my guess is we'll change the head shell design a bit. Part of the problem is the wire clips seem rather long in the photos; I used shorter clips in the prototype. Anyway, that will be sorted one way or other. I wanted to comment on the anti-skate a bit. I haven't seen the current parts, but the theory is the anti-skate rope should pull on the arm rod at the same height as the pivot point. That's why the arm rod is vertical, so you can move the rope. If the attachment point is higher or lower than the pivot point (OK, technically a plane that passes through the stylus too) it will make the arm rock. Tie the rope to the rod at the height of the pivot and use a small drop of something to hold it there. Just a small drop of any adhesive to keep it in place, but not anything permanent. Nail lacquer, shellac or white glue. The wire loop that the rope hangs over should be at a similar height. I haven't seen it, but there are a variety of tweaks that can be made to make that happen. Properly set up, the anti-skate works well and I'd never do without it. Hint- if you put your finger under the weight and gently bounce it, the arm shouldn't rock; then you know you've got it right. More to follow when I see what the production unit looks like!
