WTD: Third weight for Helius Orion Mk1

[dwhistance]

This is a bit of a long shot but I thought I'd try...

I've had a Mk1 Helius Orion sitting on a shelf unused for some time. I bought it to try with my Audio Note Io Ltd as 40 years after it was made it is still one of Peter Qvortrop's recommendations for his cartridges. Sadly mine only has two of the three weights it came with and I believe it needs all three to get the best out of the Io Ltd (it's a heavy cartridge). Does anyone have the third weight I can buy/borrow so I can try this arm as intended with my cartridge please?

I have decided to try it anyway with the two weights but I know that having them well back on the screw will mess up the effective mass so I won't be hearing it at its best.

Alternatively if anyone has all three weights and is willing to weigh them for me I can work out which one is missing from mine and get Steve from Magna Audio to make me up the missing one. The two on mine weigh 95g and 63g and there is a delrin washer between them.

Thanks in advance for your help.

Geoff at Helius Designs normally had a stock of his older arms & accessories, due customers upgrading their older arms to newer ones. He might have just what you need.

Thanks for the suggestion. When I last asked him he didn’t have any however that was some time ago so I will try him again.
