If the cartridge tends to rise, move the counterweight forward (towards the pivot of the arm). If the cartridge tend to drop to hard, move the counterweight backwards until you achieve balance. Use a good gauge to adjust the tracking force (see below). Note : Your may find that, to achieve the correct tracking force, the counterweight selected has to be placed too far backwards on the tube. This means that the weight of your cartridge is not compatible with the counterweight you have chosen. If the counterweight is too near the pivot, the tone arm may lack lateral freedom towards the spindle. Chose a lighter counterweight. If, on the contrary, the counterweight is too far away from the pivot, you will obtain a better sonic result by selecting a heavier counterweight. For very heavy cartridge you may get special counterweights from your Goldmund dealer. 3. Adjust the vertical tracking force with a very accurate gauge by moving the counterweight backwards and forwards. As soon as you reach the force required, tighten the lateral screw of the counterweight without blocking it. 4. Replace the stylus protection on the arm so as to proceed with the following adjustment without damaging your cartridge.

VII. ARM LEVELING AND V.T.A. ADJUSTMENT Loosen the 4 horizontal screws blocking the rail on either side of the arm. Place record on the turntable platter. (An old one that you do not mine damaging.) You may now adjust the height of the rail by turning the 4 vertical screws under the rail (see figure 1). Adjust the height by listening, starting with the tube of the arm, parallel to the record surface. Each cartridge has an optimum vertical tracking angle that is easily perceptible when you listen to it. You can easily find it by making small up or down movements. Also look at the indications supplied by the manufacturer of your cartridge. IMPORTANT : With some cartridge, the arm may have a tendency to "dive" forward. If so, adjust the back and front screws by tipping the rail slightly forward so that the flap at the end of the tone arm remains in the photo-sensor of the pilot arm when the cartridge is down on the record and rises sufficiently when the arm is lifted up horizontal. The arm should be half way across the record. Adjust the 4 screws under the corner of the rail accurately so that it is perfectly horizontal between its back and front supports. When the above operation is completed, tighten the 4 horizontal screws attaching the rail to the lateral sides.
