Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Direct Drive Turntable
Following this guide will replace the spring that controls the Anti-Skate Knob which is responsible for your stylus properly riding through the ridges of your records. This will cause your Anti-Skate Knob to not work which can be seen in this troubleshooting page. Audio-Technica AT-LP120-USB Anti-Skate Knob Does Not Work - iFixit.
You can tell if there is a problem with the spring by setting the Anti-Skate to seven and running the stylus on a record. If the stylus moves straight to the center then your spring is too weak and must be replaced.
When following the guide, it's recommended that you take pictures of how everything is. That way once it is time to reassemble everything you know how it should look.
You will have to desolder and solder to complete this guide. If you have any questions on proper soldering, follow this link for some help. Soldering/desoldering connections.
