    If think a return would've been best contemplated before pressing it into use.

    I'd send it back. To use your word and just knowing the importance of set, alignment etc, I am very anal when it comes to this stuf and it would bug the hell out of me, being it like it is.

    I feel for you that it's come like that - the 'joys' of hifi....

    cheers rob,
    id estimate it to be only a degree off line and to be fair to the seller i have put some hours on it so i have decided to keep it.
    its really sounding great so i think there's no damage or misalignment inside ,it could after all be just the body that's off center?
    after all it can always be sent of to be checked.

    Unless I am mistaken because it is late and I am tired, both the centring and antiskate forces will tend to displace the cantilever towards the platter spindle, I have had this happen over time with cartridges.

    Your deviation is the other way and may well become lessened and so it will be more accurate with time as it moves slightly with those forces.

    Fair enough Jamie and at least you're aware of it so you can align with that in mind / to the cantilever as best you can - glad it's sounding great too

    it has the effect as if not enough anti skate has been used

    “Nothing discloses real character like the use of power. It is easy for the weak to be gentle. Most people can bear adversity. But if you wish to know what a man really is, give him power. This is the supreme test. It is the glory of Lincoln that, having almost absolute power, he never abused it, except on the side of mercy".

    “You see these dictators on their pedestals, surrounded by the bayonets of their soldiers and the truncheons of their police ... yet in their hearts there is unspoken fear. They are afraid of words and thoughts: words spoken abroad, thoughts stirring at home -- all the more powerful because forbidden -- terrify them. A little mouse of thought appears in the room, and even the mightiest potentates are thrown into panic.”

    "You don't have free will. You have the appearance of free will.”

    “There's a war out there, old friend. A world war. And it's not about who's got the most bullets. It's about who controls the information. What we see and hear, how we work, what we think... it's all about the information!”

    Agreed, but your cartridge is NOS, so I still think it's a minor misalignment of the generator with the housing.
