Third Arm Engaged

The pictures below showcase the third tonearm and the customized counter-weight assembly. Because the tone-arm needed a greater range of motion than standard, the supplied counter-weight couldn’t be used because it limited this motion by bumping against the anti-skate dial. The answer turned out to be a very simple and I think elegant, solution. An allen-wrench with a few washers placed on the end! The allen-wrench fit into the hole that was already in the end of the tone-arm, and clears the dial that it needed to fit over so that it can play on both turntables. Recently upgraded the three cartridges to Ortofons that make the visual act of DJing so much easier
