A spindle weight is one thing but a periphery ring is what will really help with eliminating warps. I don't know if one will work with the 1200 (check platter clearance). Mine were manufactured by TT Weights
All record weights the same ?
What is a good record weight.
Do they harm the motor, or put more stress on a direct drive motor?
Technics sl1200 mkii from the mid late 80’s. Removed platter, unscrewed top, removed spindle , and removed clamp, wiped off old oil, fresh oil, blew out w compressed air, oiled any moving parts.
Put back together, and it’s smooth as silk.
Anyway,...WHATS A GOOD descent record weight that will hold down the LP and not harm or put more strain on the motor.

This record weight is about 900g and perfect for any Direct Drive turntable including Technics. Designed and made in Japan by Micro Seiki in the 70’s. Classics! They made at least two versions of this (slightly different weight and thickness). In my opinion most of the modern record weights are so ugly that I don’t want them even near my turntable. |
