I mean I was doing a paper round around 2000 and the one I owned certainly didn’t have anti-skip to begin with and even when they did have anti-skip that doesn’t mean that it never skipped as later ones I had with it only had “x seconds of anti skip” so if it receives a big jolt that shit was still skipping
Anti skip wasn’t completely anti skip if it took a massive jolt but for sure it was like magic compares to the old ones which needed to be preferably flat on a table xD
