    I found this page through Google. The rig I've been building is a massive 18g AT-LH18 headshell with a Denon 103 on a KAB 1200. The poor counterweight can't take it, even with the auxiliary weight added! Are you still in the counterweight business, I hope?

    Dear Steve,

    My requirements are similar to Cesrig's.

    I also have a 18g AT-LH18 headshell with a Denon 103 cartridge.

    The only difference is that my turntable is a Technics SL1210M5G with the stock tonearm.

    Are you able to fashion a suitable counterweight for me based on your experience for your other customers?

    Please PM me as I am also a newbie to this Forum.


    Dear Cesrig,

    Sorry to tap into your post.

    I also googled my way and ended up here in this lovely Forum.

    Hmm, I can't edit my prior posts in this Forum.

    Dear Steve,

    Please ignore my above-mentioned request.

    I've decided to give my Denon Cart and AT Headshell to another audiophile friend of mine.

    The above combo is just not meant for a stock Technics tonearm....

    I've decided to get an Audio Technica cart instead. This will save me all the needed upgrading pain.

    (Cheers!)

    That's my counterweight there! Now fitted to the Pioneer and all set up nicely. The weight we calculated is spot-on. Many thanks to Steve - and sorry I didn't thank you earlier.
