I looked at the Zero 100 but bought the SL-95B. As I remember, they are
adjusted in similar fashion.
I'm dealing with about 30 year recall here so there may be some fuzziness in
the old visions.
Set the tracking force adjustment to zero (I think this is a dial on the
tone arm that sticks out from the side).
Set the anti-skate adjustment to zero also. I think this is a small slide
weight on an arm that raises from the support point as the tone arm tracks
inward.
Once in this position set the tonearm in the middle of a record. Loosen the
weight on the back of the arm, slide the weight on the back of the tone arm
back and forth to achieve balance with the needle just barely off the
record. Tighten the weight at this point.
Then set the tracking force using the dial as specified for the cartridge.
Then set the small sliding weight antiskate to the same number as the
tracking force.
The rod alongside the arm keeps the cartridge at 90 degrees to the record
groove as it tracks inward on the record.
If you don't know the tracking force for the cartridge, start at about 1.0
and play a record. If it skips, increase by 1/2 grams until the cartridge
tracks (doesn't skip grooves). Always keep the anti-skate number equal to
the tracking force.
That kind of does it I think????
