I'm looking for a main counterweight for an early split weight SME 3012 series 2.

I have the heavy counterweight which is fine for my SPU but I'd like to also have the regular size counterweight.

It's the matt silver finish like this that I'm looking for.

I know it's a long shot but hopefully one of you can help.

Thank you.

There’s a guy in Holland that makes good gold coloured reproduction ones. You’ll probably find him on eBay.

Thanks for the info. It was kind of you to take the time to reply.

If possible I'd like to locate an original but I've been informed by pm on another forum that this seller (http://www.audiosilente.com/spare-parts-for-sme-1-counterweight-for-sme-60-grams.html) makes the counterweights in the matt silver finish which is a good option.

Paul, why not contact Steve at Magna Audio, he's on this Forum. I've used him loads of times to produce custom weights for both my 3009 and 3012, he does an excellent job at reasonable prices. Just a thought. :)

Thanks Andrew. That's a great recommendation. If I can't find an original, I'll give Steve a shout.

After having received some help from a kind gentleman on pfm, I can now specify that I'm looking for an original SME s2 counterweight that weighs 80g and is 25mm long. Thank you.
