Kenwood L07D antiskating


Have just bought a descent Kenwood L07D. This deck will complete my Collection and I would be happy if I could make it spin again. There is some missing parts on the arm and i wonder if anyone have any data on the antiskaiting weight. I have to make a new and I would like to know the mass and what material was used in the weight.

Cheers from Sweden

I know and I fully agree not wanting any movement what so ever ,further
I was highly sceptical and no way did I want anything to do with this at first.

With the platter spinning the table is moving,that was my first thought that it would jiggle ,not the case.
With a gentle touch a wobble is ever so slight queuing the arm of course ,once done the table settles very quickly and you really have to watch for any movement but it's there.
No doubt this was done before with bad results and I could easily understand some of the problems why.

If there were the slightest detriment in sound or risk with such an expensive cartridge I wouldn't do it .And finally What! an upgrade for $800.00
Kudos to Symposium
I don't think there is any risk to your cartridge. I am concerned that you have a rotating mass, in the form of the platter assembly. If that mass is not perfectly centered with respect to the rollerblocks, then I wonder if there is a tendency for the entire tt to want to counter-rotate in a circular fashion, with the true center of mass as its center. The entire plinth is designed and built to prevent that, and here we add a modification that defeats the purpose. I doubt it's a big problem, and since I am only theorizing, I could be wrong, and it may be no problem at all.
Lewm it's just been a few days using them and giving more thought to it you make perfect sense .I'll curve my enthusiasm and look for something more suitable.initially they were only intended for under preamp ,amps and power supply's ,but my goodness how well they work.
In_Shore, I've had similar results with Stillpoints Ultra 5s under my L-07D-- including a fifth leg under the motor housing.

Harold, yes, the Trans-Fi arm sounds great on L-07D. However, in fairness to the Kenwood arm, I have not yet heard it-- owing to a missing antiskate string. Perhaps one of these days Lewm will forward a photo of the installed string as a model for reproduction...
