Pioneer PL-61 anti-skate, again.

I have a Pioneer PL-61 I restored. Love it, accept for the anti-skate issue. I hate to get rid of it. Now I can use a cart set at a higher VTF. I have a Shure M78C on it that I track at about 3g. The arm doesn't drift out, unless I lower the VTF. I know there is a replacement part. But as yet to find a thread that explains exactly how to install it. If anyone has a step by step, I would very much be appreciative of it.

The PL-61 is a top of the line turntable, the best Pioneer had to offer and a better one than subsequent TTs like the PL-71.

The PL-61 has an armboard, if you want to fully take advantage of such a fine turntable, replace the tonearm with a better tonearm. I would suggest a Rega tonearm.

I have considered that. But I prefer to keep my vintage tables stock, if I can.
