My arm for my mono rig has no anti skate adjustments.  I can make a counterweight system, but is it worth it on mono???

It doesn't matter mono or stereo,anti skating adjustment is so the stylus rides the middle of the record groove. Too little the arm will mistrack,too much and it will wear out the right channel groove. Is the table an AR?

No, it's a Technics SP10-II with a Syntec 220 tonearn (basically an older broadcast tonearm, and actually a good fit for the Denon 102 mono cartridge)
