I also made him a slightly lighter, but still heavy Fidelity Research FR64s / FR66s counterweight.

I see the 929 arm has been shortened and adapted to accept Ortofon/SME style headshells. Did you do this work yourself?

I see the 929 arm has been shortened and adapted to accept Ortofon/SME style headshells. Did you do this work yourself?No, this chap is in the US.

I did fabricate a whole new armtube and rewired with Litz, for Serge - some 9 years ago!

I contacted him about the side weight mass (he'd never used mono though..).
His armtube is still in daily use![emoji846]
