Pioneer PL-41 Any thoughts

One for question does anyone know where to get headshell weights. I have tried mounting several cartridges in my PL-41 and none are heavy enough to zero balance the arm. I hav tried an AT-221EP, Sansui SX-40, and a sansui sc-80 and none of them have enough weight to zero balance. It seems like I need weights to add to the headshell. I have the original headshell and its heavy to begin with. The only other thing would be try another tonearm counterweight. Any ideas on what table from or where to get a lighter weight.

my advice will cost you a bit, but save a ton of hassle. Buy a Tonar generic headshell. It comes with 2 and 4g screw in weights. I forget where I bought mine, but several dealers carry them. Stanton makes a similar product, I believe......

Pop the platter off and put a few drops at the base of the spindle, wiggle it around.

If the platter has not been off in a while, it will take some effort. Pull straight up.

Thanks for the info.I need to pull the platter again anyway.I am not sure I cleaned the belt contact surfaces.
