In Reply to: Project / mmf counterweight discrepancy? posted by tketcham on April 23, 2007 at 21:29:25:
of purchasing a Shelter 501, which would have required a heavier counterweight. When I spoke to a Music Direct sales representative I was told a heavier counterweight was not available at the time so that was that and the Eroica LX @ 5.5 grams has been a good performer. It would have been a simple matter for me to use a piece of hardware (as in a nut) to increase mass and weight, but I worried the arm bearings may suffer in the long run. In any case, my current choices are limited. However, if I needed the extra counterweight I would try the inelegant solution and use your stylus force gauge for correct VTF and ignore the counterweight dial.Also, since the "heavier" counterweight you purchased in 10 mm longer--but in fact not heavier--it will extend further back on the tonearm and may cause problems if you play your records with the dust cover down.
I suppose one day I'll have to deal with your current issues as well, but your current bother is informative to all of us MMF-7 owners, thank you.
Lastly, if you have access to a postal scale, you can find out the real weight of the counterweight in question.
