Remove spring from RB300

I never did it myself, but Audiogon member "Basement" has done it on his, and maybe if you email him, he'll tell you how to do it.

If you turn the tracking force to 0 'I think' this is all you need to do.
No need to remove the spring as 'I think' setting it at 0 will have the same effect as removing it.

I want to install the espresso counterweight on my RB300, and defeat the built-in spring (if not remove it). I think I need a few minutes on the telephone with someone very familier with this arm. Would any of you volunteer, or, do you know a good candidate who would volunteer? I have the counterweight and also a scale and various screwdrivers.
Thank you.

This is a reputable website, and says to set the tracking weight to 3g (max) will remove the spring.

Hurrah for google.

Yes. Set it to 3. Then do all your balancing with the weight.
