Technics SL-Q202 help (newbie)

[Greenman121]

Hey everyone! New sound quality addict here. I recently came across an old Technics SL-Q202 TT. I tried to set it up and it all (seems) to work fine, but the tone arm keeps swinging to the right. I've messed around with the weights for longer than I care to admit but for some reason the needle just won't stay down and bounces to the right. I've heard that it could be the balancing of the platter but I don't think that's the case. I have attached a pic of the weights. Thanks for all your help! I love it here!

Did you balance the arm to zero before setting the stylus pressure?

Be sure to turn the anti skating to "0" before balancing the the arm.

Here's a video for you in case you missed a step
