How to get more weight on the end of the styli

Lesson Beginner Stage 1: Your First Setup November 2007

Contents of the video

Right folks, this is a bit of a DJ tip for you if you have an SL1200 Mark II. Do you find that there's not enough weight possibly at the front of your cartridge and you wouldn't mind getting a little bit of extra weight on the front of your cartridge, on the styli area? Now then you see a lot of people they'll stick a penny or a 2p or some plasticine or something on the cartridge which is this part here. That there. Now it looks a bit unsightly. All you need to do is simply this. This is the counterweight Unscrew it off, like so. Turn it around and do this while the arm is securely fitted and then screw it back on, like that. Basically, this part here is heavier than this part. So you're increasing the weight now, only a tiny bit, but you're increasing the weight enough to make a difference. Okay? Hope I've been of help. Practice and enjoy.
