Ok trying to get this fired up for my daughter she has been using a way lesser
Quality table rhymes with crosley. Turntable seems to function , except for sound, cart on right is what was in the table stylus was already missing says 2sdtl. I bought one generic replacement on amazon on the left seems to fit but the plastic part is no exact, should this work in this table, possible more internal prob. Or wrong cart I bought?? Thank you all.20160720_101617.jpg20160720_101631.jpg

Try using a stack of large diameter washers for the time being.

Measure the tone arm stub diameter and look for a counter weight with same diameter on Ebay (does not have to be the same brand).

Try organdonorparts too. :idea:

Yep, missing counterweight. It won't be pretty, but you can fashion one out of washers like Balifly said. Or use Blu Tack. Just make sure you measure the VTF using a scale.

Another option is to measure the diameter of that end of the tonearm (where the counterweight screws on) and look for a replacement from a more common turntable. I've found some cross compatibility between counterweights and brands.
 
Ya i think I'll be able to come up with something, until i find one that works, ya I'm not picky long as it will screw on and have some adjustment , should be fine, now just figure out the no sound ???
