Remove spring from RB300

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.

Yes, I know about defeating the spring by setting to 3, but the spring is still in there, and it resonates. Some people do take it out, but I don't know how much better it gets when you do this, and I've never done it.
