Here's a pic of the EMT mono side weight mounted up on the customers deck.
I also made him a slightly lighter, but still heavy Fidelity Research FR64s / FR66s counterweight.

I'm openingabottleofwine.
I see the 929 arm has been shortened and adapted to accept Ortofon/SME style headshells. Did you do this work yourself?Originally Posted by Magna Audio

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!
