@@kaanamjad first you look at the MANUAL provided with the turntable... or into the rating of the stylus cardridge and dial the counterwaight to the those exact waight settings, the anti scating must be set to the same settings as the counter waight. also proper cardridge alignment should be checked... seems this person does not know what he is doing
@@kaanamjad The video was ok until 4:56 . At this point, take the cover off the cartridge. Rotate the counterweight at the rear of the arm until you get the arm to balance horizontally - the tonearm shouldn't be pointing up or down as you look at it side on. It should seem to be floating. You just need to turn that counterweight clockwise or counterclockwise until you get there. Once this is done, you turn the dial in front of the counterweight to the Zero mark - JUST THE DIAL Now turn the counterweight until it reads the Tracking Weight mentioned in the manual - this may be 2 or 3 grams and then set the Anti-Skating to the same number. I do recommend using the cueing device when lifting or lowering the tonearm. The Key bits are balancing the tonearm and setting the tracking weight or you can damage your records and the stylus (needle) - not good. Read the manual - a lot easier than me trying to explain in words. A picture or two helps. There will be youtube videos on Balancing Tonearms !!
@@kaanamjad Oh yes, on closer inspection, the guy in the video seems to have put the counterweight on the tonearm back to front. You should see a black dial with numbers at the front where you can see them !
Yes ! If you don't do this bit correctly, you can ruin records and wreck the stylus. Any decent manual should have a diagram that illustrates balancing the tonearm.
@Robert. I believe these turntables are made in China not Switzerland. They are made by a company called Hanpin and they use this same turntable but with different badges for different companies like Audio Technica and Lenco. These turntables are crap and cheap and a proper decent turntable should never, ever have a built in preamp or even a USB.
Lenco in the 1970s, were Swiss and really well made hifi decks. Well respected. Modern day Lenco turntables, come from China. Type Lenco GL75 into a search engine and check out the images.
@@Stringbean421 The real Lenco brand was made in Zwitzerland . Other old brand names that doesn't exist anymore are all sadly being used in china to fool people . Telefunken, Grundig, Akaï , some Marshall models etc...made in 2005 to today are all crap made in china with cheap materials and plastic .
Another made in china turntable fooling nostalgists from the Lenco brand that was once made in Zwitzerland . And as always it's the clone from the well know Technics SL-1200MKII that has proved by the years and decades it's an excellent turntable and has a real history behind . Not as these crappy clones that are to my taste still sold for way too much money . Also many of these Lenco's or other made of china turntable has the same errors and mistakes the many returns because some defects . If you have luck this Lenco might still work after 5 or 10 years max if it isn't already showing fatigues and parts that deteriorates . Better to get an used turntable from Ebay or in second hand stores with brands that has proved by decades what they're worth ( Thorens, Teac, Marantz, Philips, Toshiba, Sony, etc...) . Not everything needs to be "new"
