i've been wanting to move my counterweight a little nearer the pivot on my tonearm. its a all in one affair so no chance of adding extra weights on the stub so i came up with what i thought was a ingenius idea.
the cover plate on the front is held on by 2 screws,i decided i would make another one but thicker.
turning down some aluminum round bar to 26.90mm.
once done i just used engineers blue and scribed where the holes are.
holes drilled.
next i parted off the new plate and used wet stones to give a fine surface.
the weight of the original.
disaster!!!! my new plate weighs 2 grams!! despite doubling up the thickness. i suspect the original is made of brass.
all is not lost as i just used the 2 together.
