Thanks for the responses....I believe there are something like 454 grams in a pound and if Pro-Ject marketed a weight of 700-800 grams, I should have no real concerns over this weight on my Thorens. It probably falls within thatrange....I bought it to use with my Denon DP-72L, but have to leave the dustcover in the up position to use it due to lack of clearance. It fits fine on my TD-160.
Time to Clamp Down
I have several record clamps that I use with my turntables, but I have a Thorens TD-160 with a spindle that is too short for a clamp to 'grab'. I have a very heavy turntable/record weight that probably weighs around 24 ounces, quite heavy. I would have no problem using that on one of my direct-drive tables, but I am skittish about using it on the belt-drive TD-160. Logic tells me it would put an extra-heavy load on the motor, causing undue wear.....is that a valid concern or not? The spindle clears the record just enough for this monster weight to work and right now it's my only option.
