The best turntable /I/ ever owned was a Swiss Lenco with a
little weight on a string for anti-skating. It was sold for
under $100 in 1974, too!

Hmm; my best turntable, the one I have now, a Thorens TD 166, also uses
the little weight-on-a-string (nylon monofilament, ackshooly) for
anti-skating. Simple, clever and effective system. (Mine has 3 different
weights and a bunch of notches on the pegs that the strings run over for
lots of possible adjustment.)
