Marantz 6300 anti skate

[philipjg]

Hello, I have a Marantz 6300 turntable - but it is missing 2 parts; the small counter weight for the anti skate lever and the 45 rpm adapter. Wondering if anyone could help.
Thankyou, Philip.

I've been hunting on that 45 adapter for a couple of years now, I have three of that series and none came with it. They go for rediculous prices on the Evil Auction site. As to the weight, I'm drawing a blank on the 6300 having a removable one. If it is like my 6100 kind of a dangling from a thin wire type thing? There are a couple of threads here from folk using a variety of materials such as nuts, beads etc. Just get the weight right and length of the thread and should be good to go.

Here is a quick photo (sorry about the crappy lighting ... I couldn't get the close-up macro to work). Does this help?

The little counter weight is prevented from being removed from the shaft by a very, very tiny screw. If Need be, I can try to remove it and weigh it, unless somebody knows the weight already?

Yes Don, that's the same one that I am missing - if you get around to weighing it one day let me know, I will then be to make one the same.
Thankyou, Philp.
A Thankyou to Shackman55 too.
