Hi Steve,
I'm currently using a Rega RB 1000 with a Koetsu Rosewood Signature, The weight is racked too far to the back and also, I feel an asymetrical weight would be better. Do you think you could make one in copper/tungsten alloy?
Cheers

It would be. I insist on it being a Tungsten-copper alloy.

Hi!
I'm another one of those who own a Technics 1200 and has the 18g AT-LH18 headshell with a Denon 103r. I have the Kab fluid arm damper like one of the other guys who asked (dpnt know if that affects this?). Could you make a counterweight for me? They look great and would be the perfect solution for me! I wasnt able to send you a pm here, since I just registered (found this through google).
