...will probably put the counterweight at the end of the rear stub...or not be heavy enough. However, I can probably compensate for an inadequately heavy counterweight by decreasing the VTF at the spring dial.
Thank you for the link to the headshell weight source, and yes, all I've read about Soundsmith in here tells me that's the way to go. I've also obtained a transformer and I'm going to use some resistors and rca plugs to get the proper loading using a method which I found in these archives--the method which you devised :)
