JCM Posted January 23, 2020 Posted January 23, 2020 May be a silly question but what length/mass is this tome arm, and would this plinth be able to accomodate say a 10” tone arm with the appropriate arm board?

This is heavy mass tonearm works with low compliance cart such as Denon 103 or Ortofon SPU. Mounting distance is under 210mm. The far end weight has screw to be taken off and leaves main counterweight only. Then, tonearm mass gets drastically reduced down to medium mass suit most of MM cartridges that I had. The max mounting distance would be around 230mm. There is large tonearm mounting hole in the plinth but I only cut top plate abt 3cm further back. In short, this is ideal for 8~9" tonearm at current setting. Edited February 1, 2020 by Spider27
Spider27 Posted February 4, 2020 Author Posted February 4, 2020 A member asked how to remove sub-counter weight and reduce the overall mass. There is small screw knob underneath and it just pop out when loose the screw knob. I added 2 more photos in description. By removing the sub-counter weight, the overall mass reduced by 50g and turns into medium mass tonearm.
