those kind of records suck :( what I do is I put the weight on with the
gauge facing me, and then put it on most of the way and use 2.0 stylus
pressure (what you have labelled as weight) and 0 height, but I have a
Stanton Trackmaster, you should check your stylus, it should have come with
papers that tell what settings of each you should use..
the anti-skating should usually always be set to the same amount as the
stylus-pressure.
now.. in order to play one of those records, badly pressed as they are I
might add, i put the balance-weight on backwards (the gauge facing away) and
put stylus pressure on 3, anti-skating on 3.. but that kindof increases the
wear and tear on the records, so I only do this for those tracks that don't
play otherwise.
