I have owned this tonearm for a few years, but only now have I had the opportunity to use it. Immediately, I find that the counter-weight supplied by the seller is way too heavy for any cartridge/headshell I own or have ever seen. The tonearm cannot be balanced to neutrality with this cwt. So, I need a smaller, lighter weight one. A little internet research reveals that there were some lighter ones made and also reproduced. Does anyone have a source in the US? There's one for sale in Japan, but I don't want to wait for shipping. Jim Howard, maybe? Any other ideas about how to improvise while I wait for the proper part would be appreciated. Thanks. |

I have both counterweights. Do you need the measurements? |

"Silence of the Colby" doesn't have a ring to it. |
