I need the small counterweight that goes on the very end of my tone-arm. If anyone out there has one they could part with, please let me know. I would be greatly obliged. :yes: :D

Are you looking for the counter-wieght, or the sub-weight?

Oh, boy. You mean the supplemental weight that allows for a higher mass cartridge, right? Might not have any luck with that- I'm pretty sure I don't have one of those, though someone else might.

I am not lucky either looking for that sub weight for my PL 530. What happened was I found a $10 Pioneer TT (forgot the model) at our local GW with a heavier weight attached to it, I switched the weights and donated back the TT to that same GW. :yes:

I believe it would be the sub weight. It is the smaller weight, fit's on the very back end of the arm. Thanks.

Just out of curiosity, what carts are you using/planning to use that would need the sub weight? I have a 530 without the sub weight, so I always keep an eye out for one, but I haven't really considered a cart over 9g that would need it either.

I also have been looking, off and on, for the sub-weight for a PL-610 with no luck. It occurred to me that if I knew the weight (mass) of the sub-weight and the thread size, I could fabricate a substitute sub-weight. Any one have that information? Also, is the mass of sub-weights the same across the several Pioneer tables that originally came with sub-weights.
Thanks,
Bob

You know at the moment I don't need the weight for a cart I'm using, it's just that I want it for the completeness factor of my TT. I am currently using a Shure M97xE.

The 610 and the 630 sub-weight have the same part number.
