Hi
Does anyone on here fabricate tone arm weights?
I need one for a Toshiba SR 300c
Thanks

Anyone with a lathe could turn one but unless they have one to copy a drawing would be required.
Material and actual weight (grams) would help also.

This is a "plug and play" turntable where the tracking force is factory set to 3 g to match the supplied cartridge. It's a dynamically balanced tonearm.
The counterweight slides onto an end stub which the OP measures to be only 20 mm long. See the attachment.
Hence the need for the elongated counterweight shape in order to provide sufficient turning moment to balance the tonearm.
It has been suggested elsewhere that @stubbs04 could extend the end stub outwards with suitable tubing and use glued together washers to determine the magnitude of the balancing mass required as well as the required distance of its centre of gravity from the pivot.
The idea was that those and any other necessary measurements would be made available to any generous lathe owning volunteer!
