[QUOTE="dan duette, post: 461462, member: 15299"] You can get the manual for this arm as well as the MA 707 arm from Vinyl Engine. The MA 707 is identical in looks but uses an aluminium arm tube with markings on it. In the manual you'll see that both these arms originally came with two extra weights. One that screwed into the back of the counterweight stub and another that clipped onto the arm tube itself. This one could slide up and down the arm tube. Unfortunately there was no explanation as to what the different markings/settings stood for. According to the manual they were supplied to help set the arm up with some of the older very heavy cartridges of the day if I remember correctly, it goes on to suggest that the arm is perfectly usable without them for cartridges of average weight. I have the MA 707 on a Micro Seiki DQX 500 and have set the arm up with and without the extra weights and prefer it without. The cartridge is an Ortofon 2M Blue. [/QUOTE]
