need help with Moerch tone-arm setup.

I have searched the forums , but all the threads I see are a lot older and didnt find what I really needed.

I recently bought a VPI HW-19 MK 111 table and a Moerch UP-4 tonearm was included.        

I have looked at the instructions and have seen this in the forums , but it mentions what weights to use and depends on the color ?              

Can someone explain what they are referring to ?        

 How do I know how many weights to add to the back of the tone-arm ?

I am sure I will have more questions, but this will be a start.

Thanks to those that reply.

"  Sounds like you'll need to back up and figure a lot out here. "

This is a big step up from the Technics sl-1200 mk 11 I had a few years back.

I have the Shelter 90x cartridge

for the scale, would be using the Shure TF gauge for now.

Your Shelter cartridge weighs 9.7 grams. Which color of arm tube do you have?  There is colored "dot" right behind the headshell.  This will determine which counterweights you will use.

Green dot.

Looks like red dot would be a better match but with green dot, you want large counterweight plus the tracking force weight (the small one with the hole centered).
