Lets hope there are some "true counterweight believers" there.:sofa:

lol, hopefully some true physics believers too ;)

Will do a bit of research & try to get some measurements re the mounting plate. I'd like brass personally. :rock:

Found some dimensions: "The dimensions of the platelet are: thickness = 2,5 milimeter, width = 18mm, length =21.5mm"

Maybe increase the thickness to 3 or 3.5mm??

The mass is 4.9 grams and the threaded holes are 2.5mm, bugger, now i have to buy another set of taps. i dont have half sizes.

Just need to know the size, it looks to be 1mm thick.

I also just looked at the alloy plate on ebay, do you see what he wants for it :lol:

I would not charge anything like that of course.:eyebrows:

Knock 5p off.:lol:

Yeah, that's a lot of money for the alloy mounting plate for sure! So we've got the dimensions, so do you think 2.5mm thick as per the Italian dude would do it? Sorry for the off-topic guys, but lots of DL103 users in here anyway :P

If you mean the brass one from the link above i dont see any reference to thickness just its weight and hole size, but it looks around 1mm thick to me, the ebay alloy one is much deeper.
Its the width and depth i dont know, its thickness can then be worked out by the mass, which is known.

Did you miss this post John? In Italian but with some photos. Looks good to me...

Yes i missed it our posts crossed i think, seems all 3 i have seen so far are different in thickness.

He states that the mass is 4.9 grams at that thickness of 2.5mm so making it thicker by a mm will make it around 6g i reckon.

will look into it.:)

My nuded 103 is superglued to a suitably drilled 2p coin, with another similarly drilled coin between this and the arm to add additional mass. I made a point of using older bronze coins rather than the more recent copper plated steel (magnetic).

Blimey!... Audiophile currency. Who would have thought! :lolsign:

I re-eyeballed a Stevenson alignment with the Technics guage; switched the fat weight and the medium weight, so that the fat weight is closest to the pivot. I also took tracking weight down to 1,4g. The fat and medium weights don't touch.

This is much better, all the good stuff I noted yesterday, maybe a shade less heft in the bass, but much better top to bottom homogenity.

If anbody recognizes this :

please let me know

Thanks for the hints
