Hello Mr. Roland. IMO what Edgar Villchur wrote was applicable to the typical MM carts of that era and would likely be used on the AR table. The original arm was no giant killer prize however was / is adequate for the purpose. The bearings and materials were spec'd for a price point yes though with attention paid to careful engineering. And the 'S' shaped arm tube helped minimize head shell offset error.
Overall a properly set-up AR table (in good condition)is still capable of providing remarkable musical performance even today, at least on par with contemporary designs at the same relative cost. I have heard AR tables with Soundsmith, Shure and other carts installed that sounded wonderful.
So I'd not fret overmuch on the anti-skating issue ... the quote from Harry Weisfeld "just set it up and enjoy it" applies here.
