that moving the weight toward the center of pivot decreases the force necessary to accelerate the arm toward the center of the record (1/m^2) while the weight will have to increase by (1/radius), so while the weight will have to be heavier, there's a net decrease in radial inertia.
So radially there's decreased effective mass while maintaining a fixed effective vertical mass (no acceleration in the vertical axis).
Have I got that right?
