It's not that I don't want it (I like it), but in reality I rarely use it, and aesthetically, it would suit your vintage T/T more than it does my Techy :)

Make me a sensible offer (I won't be greedy), by PM, and it's yours! :cool:

I've actually got one - but I wouldn't use it. Why? Well, because it does very little other than impart friction and noise - nice thing though (which is why I still own it).

I don't use them like others seem to think they are meant to be used, hence none of your issues apply ;)

eBay is great for spares like that, George. What arm is it?

Its the original Michell Uni-Pivot arm that came with the Focus....Im sure other weights would do it,but would like to know for sure.
Im going to give Michell a call on Monday and see do they have a spare.
Arm pic is in my album.:)

If they don't, ask them what the original weighs! They were very simular looking to the SME'3009' bias weight but slightly flatter in appearence & probably chrome plated to match the other weights. the smallest '3009' Bias weights were 3g..

Can't remember but i think the Goldring/Lenco 'GL75' had a simular flat bias weight around 1g upwards

I have a Michell Transcriptor Hydraulic Reference turntable which I am renovating.
I am also looking for a sweep arm and also the stylus brush arm, if anyone has one.

If you'r stuck for an antiskate weight you could use an olivette, cheap, accurate and all weights available.
