Kenwood KD-2077 Anti-skating device

Hello. I am looking for either a replacement anti-skating weight, or the actual weight of the anti-skating device, so I can fashion one (maybe from a small fishing weight).
I perused a couple old posts with this request, but it seems to be a mystery!
Any help would be appreciated.
Thank you!

If you get yourself a test record, they usually have a section for setting up anti-skating precisely. The later Shure test records, which were free for buyers of their Shure V15 cartridges, are some of the best. The Era IV (for V15 Type IV) and Era V (type V) test records are very good, and are regularly available used on Ebay for good prices. That way, you can try out different weights until you find one that works.

Lightweight circular fishing sinkers in the smallest sizes would be one way of getting small weights cheaply to find out what the correct weight is. The type of sinkers known as split shot, which you crimp onto nylon fishing line with pliers, would be one type which would be light enough, and you can find them at fishing/sporting shops, and even some hardware or variety stores.
 
Thank you for your input! The generic weight is 4 grams, so I will find a small fishing weight (the split shot type) that is close to that weight and fashion an anti-skating device.
I also need a tone arm support for this tt. The clip that holds the arm is broken. Hard to find the part!

Thanks again,
Steve
