Hi.
I have to admit that I know close to nothing on how to setup a SL1900.
It plays records OK, but when i try to do light scratch it "jumps" one or two grooves back or forth.
I know its not intended for DJ'ing, but i suspect that it's a anti-skating problem.
How do I check if anti-skating is adjusted correctly, or even working?
I tried to place a mirror on the plate an placed the pickup on the mirror. The PU were quickly pulled towards the center. Is it supposed to do that?
I'm using a Ortofon nightclub PU. It's not the best for DJ'ing, but it should be OK.
The SL1900 is pretty beat up, but seems to be working. All hints on repair-guides or FAQ's would be appreciated.
Regards TroelsM

I never serviced the 1900 but from the drawing it seems that the anti-skating principle is similar to that of the SL1210.
A spring, griping a pin attached to the arm base regulates the anti-skating force. Dismantle the table to the point where you can see the spring in action. (Remove the bottom plate)
If this spring seems like doing its job, your tone arm is definitely broken. I doubt you will find a new replacement.

No, the anti-skating thingy will most likely be in good working order. It will be the arm that needs to be remade.
