RE: Which Hadcock 242?

Thanks, PAR,

The 5lb weight sounds too heavy. Unless the pillar is made of lead. :-) I guess I'll have to ask the seller or a British distributor.

I've read all about modifying Michell Gyro SE turntables to accommodate a second 'arm so am ready to undertake the task. And as for making sure the weight distribution is maintained, I had to have a custom lightweight acrylic mounting plate made to get my SE balanced out correctly using the SME 309. Once I swapped out the stock aluminum plate with the lighter weight plate the "Gyro bounce" was easy to establish.

I'd considered the replacing the springs with an elastomer type suspension but decided against it.
