It looks like you have a switch that allows you to select record size. That's what I would guess the 12/10/7 switch is - It selects diameter in inches. That would set where the arm set down in automatic operation. The round dial sets anti-skating, which provides a slight amount of outward force on the tone arm to counter the centripetal force of the spiraling inward groove on the record. It is generally set about the same as the downward force of the tracking weight. Click the link below for more information:
