Modding a SL1210 project

Hi, I've just started modding a 1210 mk2.

Yesterday installed a Denon DL301 cart, it's so light the tonearm just floats with the counterweight fully forward.

So I balanced 2 x 1 cent coins on the headshell, in total this weights 17.5 grams (cart+head+wires+coins) and then set the counterweight to 2 grams.

Good workaround or bad idea? What's best practice?

Thanks

It is that bad. Shipping was not prompt in my case, and communication was poor on their end. That's all I'll say.

A good place to buy analog accessories is turntableneedles.com

I would have to agree with Dave 72 about LP Gear, for all his reasons and a few more.

Good to know, I doubt I will be purchasing anything from them.
