    B&O Beogram 3400 counterweight

    Hello everybody and happy holidays! Just got my first B&O device, so I'm pretty excited! But the one I got needs a lot of work! In brief, Santa just gave me a free beogram 3400, that was listed for parts, and it's in very sad condition, with both power and sound cord cut out. I gave it a good...

    Sansui SR-838 Sub Weight - ?

    I now have a fellow who has offered to build this hard to find piece. While it came as an accessory when the 838 was new, most all seem to be lost - of course. If you want to use a cart with total weight above 10 grams, this part is the solution to balance the tone arm. I am asking to reply here...

    Can you make a counterweight to turn a 9 inch tonearm into a 12 inch?

    I’m trying to make a mission 774 into a 12 inch tonearm and have found a wand for one. I’m a little intimidated by creating a counterweight for it and was wondering if anyone would have any ideas on how to proceed. Is there an equation I have to follow to come up with the ideal counterweight...

    Counter weight for pl-518

    Hi everyone, new to these forums! Picked up a PL-518 missing a counterweight but can't seem to find one anywhere. Does anyone know which other counterweights would work with this model? I have seen a thread on here about 560 and 540 counterweights working as well, but can't find those either.

    My recently acquired Pioneer PL-518 Help

    I was hoping someone here might have the counterweight for the Pioneer PL-518 or direct me to a replacement weight that would work on this table. I drove 3 hours last week to pick up a Pioneer Equalizer I'd been looking for and as it turned out the seller also had this turntable. He said he got...

    Pioneer PL-530 Additional Counterweight DYI options?

    Cartridge I have on my PL-530 (AT OC9/ii) is a bit heavy and I have to put the main counterweight pretty much all the way back - which I think is causing issues with the tonearm start position being all over the place (never had this issue with other lighter carts and turning the positioning...

    Pioneer PL1000A Counterweights and alignment guide

    Hi, I have two Pioneer PL-L1000A turntables (had them since new). They have been in storage for quite some time but now that I have some extra spare time, I have taken them out of storage for some much needed work. To the point. Some years ago we moved house and it appears that one of the...

    Pioneer PL-400 PL-300 PL-255 PL-250 PL-200 PL-100 counterweight stub repair.

    I recently found a cheap Pioneer PL400 so I could scavenge the dust cover for an old Pioneer PL420 that I already own. But after reading some nice reviews here on AK I decided to try and rejuvenate this deck so that I could compare the sound. Luckily the turntable was completely functional...

    Technics SL-1300 - missing nodule for counterweight threading

    Usually, a standard S arm has a tiny plate fitted at it's end featuring a protruding nodule that catches the spiral groove inside a counterweight. This facilitates the linear motion of the counterweight as it's rotated either clockwise or anti-clockwise. However, I have two Technics SL-1300 arms...

    Hello everybody! I have been reading about Lenco turntables and being a Swiss trademark I heard that was very good. The problems that I found were: 1) why they used those V-blocks instead of pin pivots 2) why most of their tonearms were broken near counter weight? why they used an arm formed by...

    Counterweights

    I recently picked up a Pioneer PL518 TT less counterweight. Thought of my brother-in-law who was a machinist by trade and asked if he could make one. Sure, piece of cake! If this is successful, would others be interested in this service?..
