Based on your post, I played around with the anti-skate for the last couple of hours and found a very minimal anti-skate that allows the Delos to track Track 9 pretty cleanly. "Less was more" in this case and ended up the lowest mechanical skate setting (one "donut" weight vs three). It actually does 9 with only the slightest hint of buzz. Also when I observed the cantilever in and out of the groove, I can detect no visible "skewing". This the my first "long" arm and I suspect the longer the arm, the more skating may be a factor. Can't explain the logic behind my geometry, but a 1.5 inch longer "moment arm" would like generate more skating force if my logic is sound. The cart is starting to get a few more break in hours and I suspect the suspension has settled a little.
