Guys,
I'm very pleased to announce that Steve has informed me that he is 'back on the scene', as it were, and happy to take your orders now for any custom-made counterweight balances and/or armboards.
Welcome back, Steve - you've been missed!
Marco.

Robbie, that would entail removing the arm and I never do that unless I have to. I prefer to leave what's working nicely well alone

Now this is good news - maybe the Ultracraft can be made Koetsu-ready with a new counterweight sometime soon!
Is it almost up and running, Chris? Need piccies!
