Dual 1237 auto startup problem...need help adjusting where needle falls.

I'm trying to set up a Dual 1237 turntable for my daughter. The unit seems to hold stable speed and is more or less functional, but has the following issues that I was hoping to obtain some assistance with:

A) Auto startup works, but needle falls short of record. Is there an adjustment to calibrate where the needle drops?

B) Auto stop does not work when the switch is flipped.

C) The tonearm seems to have an anti-skate problem, though I can't be sure until I get everything mounted up. It seems to have a strong pull away from the label, out toward the beginning of the record....so much so that I can't get the arm to stay still on my mirrored protractor.

Any help or ideas would be appreciated.
