In Reply to: Project / mmf counterweight discrepancy? posted by tketcham on April 23, 2007 at 21:29:25:
I have a Pro-Ject RPM-4, with the (then) standard Pro-ject 9 aluminum arm. About 6 months ago, I upgraded from a Goldring Eroica to a Sumiko BPS Evo III, which is a much heavier cart. The original, standard counterweight wasn't enough for the BPS's 8.3 grams (the standard counterweight had to sit all the way out the back of the arm to balance the BPS).So I asked MusicDirect here in Chicago to order me the next size up in weight for a counterweight from Pro-Ject/Sumiko, but when it came, it was the exact same thing that I already had. I sent it back, and they sent the right one, which, surprisingly, was smaller but still heavier than the original one.
The point is, it seemed to me like the whole process with Sumiko/Pro-Ject/MD was confused, as if no one had ever ordered the heavier counterweight before. So if your dealer simply sent in the wrong order, or Sumiko/Pro-Ject filled it wrong, you may think you've got the right thing, but you don't. I know what you want exists -- I have it, bit it just may take more than one try to get it right.
Good luck.
