Tweak as necessary.</li><li>turn the whole counterweight from the rear until the (now correct) weight indicator reads the correct weight for your cartridge (1.5g is a safe bet)</li><li>Enjoy your records!</li></ol><p>Hope this helps <br /></p><div style="clear:both;"></div>https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146937.aspxMon, 06 Oct 2008 17:00:58 GMT41a2a90c-3a1e-4bd3-b144-3883695a7f38:146937iggsta1010https://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/thread/146937.aspxhttps://archivedforum.beoworld.org:443/forums/commentrss.aspx?SectionID=30&PostID=146937<p>Hi there, could really do with some help!</p><p>Records are playing on my system but the arm is trying to pull the stylus back to it&#39;s starting place so the record sounds distorted and keeps skipping backwards. Is this something to do with the counterweight or something? Turning it around to 0 seems to reduce the problem somewhat but it still gets stuck in the groove and sounds very crackly. When i push down on the stylus end of the arm a little the crackling goes away - too much weight at the back of the arm?</p><p>I just got the system through ebay and the previous owner assures me it worked fine. Any advice would be greatly appreciated.</p>Many thanks, Dom<div style="clear:both;"></div>
