Is there a good replacement for a Luxman Pd284 Tonearm Counterweight?

[Douglas Jett]

I'm at a complete loss trying to find a used Luxman Pd284 tonearm counterweight. I tried using a Micro Seiki MA-202 but its too heavy. Does anyone know if there's a different Luxman model counterweight that will work for the PD284? Or maybe a different brand that is an effective replacement? The tone arm is much lighter than it looks and the counterweight attachment piece is just a hollow 10mm tube that's just screwed onto the end. If anyone know any good ideas I'd be forever greatful...

I have a spare Luxman PD284 sitting in a spare room

If it's any help, I could measure the dimensions of the counterweight and it's weight for you ?

As for the graduation scale, it's not really necessary except for aesthetics as I always use an electronic balance to set the tracking weight
