As I've been looking at some modern, (budget), tables, I see more and more eliminating the anti-skating device, or making it dubiously "automatic". This got me to thinking of what it might take to design one from the ground up. Problem is, everything I "Google" either talks about what it is, or how to set it up on a particular table. Nothing about its engineering. The two main questions I have are:
1. Should the anti-skating force stay uniform across the full sweep of the record, or be stronger at the outside groove relative to the inside groove? Or vice-versa.
2. Does the speed, (33/45/78), affect the amount of force?
Just curious if anyone has any insight to this. Designing one's own anti-skate mechanism could be a fun project.
