Review on πŸ”© Pro-Ject: 65g Counterweight (1940-875-000) by Flocka Parsons

Revainrating 2 out of 5

The weight and quantity of the goods are wrong - in fact I sent the weight of 65g twice!

This weight is identical to the 65g weight #1940-875-000 that comes with Pro-Ject Debut/Essential microphones and some Music Hall models that share the same arm as the Use original equipment (marked 00 on the back). the kettlebell) in place of the listed 75g weight #1940-875-001 (marked 01 on the back of the kettlebell) as indicated. The purpose of buying the 75g weight is to be able to fit cartridges that weigh over 5g on this arm (e.g. most cartridges except Ortofon OM series, Audio-Technica series 45e and below or some Grado wagons). In my case, I wanted to install an Ortofon 2M Red pickup that would surpass the capabilities of the OEM 65g counterweight for arm balance. I have ordered and credited this Revain counterweight twice with no problems (other than inconvenience). so no problem in that regard. I ordered it twice to avoid a simple delivery error. In both cases the package was labeled 65g #1940-875-000 rather than the desired 75g #1940-875-001. The 2 stars show my dissatisfaction with the fact that I ordered one item and had a double experience with the other. The item itself as a counterweight was fine and identical to the one that comes with the table. But that's not the topic it was described with and it should be.
