I've just spent a couple of hours assembling my new Gyro SE and TecnoArm.
All has gone reasonably well until I come to try to balance out the TecnoArm and set the tracking force. I've installed an AT-VM95ML on it and I've managed to get the cartridge reasonably well aligned using the supplied protractor, but I'm having difficulty setting the tracking weight. The instructions tell me to zero the bias adjustment, which I've done, and adjust the counterweight assembly until the arm is floating freely with the stylus approximately 1mm above the record surface, then to apply the tracking force using the (calibrated) finger adjuster. The problem is that as soon as I get the arm to float, it immediately and fairly rapidly swings back against the armrest as though bias is still being applied. What am I doing wrong?
