35 MOUNTING AND ADJUSTING THE TONEARM WEIGHT
Mounting and Adjusting the Tonearm Weight
The TD 124 DD comes with two dierent
tonearm weights, which are used depending
on the weight of the chosen pick-up system.
(Fig. 11) For most cartridges mounted with the
headshell and many smaller systems with SME
bayonet the smaller tonearm weight is sucient.
The larger counterweight should be used for
heavy pickups like the Ortofon SPU.
Ensure that the tonearm is locked in its rest po-
sition. (Fig. 12) Using the supplied Allen wrench,
loosen the countersunk grub screw in the side
of the tonearm weight slightly and carefully slide
the weight onto the end of the tonearm. (Fig. 13)
Tighten the grub screw again very slightly while
carefully turning the weight around the tonearm
axis until the screw engages the spiral groove in
the tonearm. Now you can precisely change the
position of the weight on the axis by turning it
back and forth.
