ephemeral Posted May 29, 2016 Share Posted May 29, 2016 I bought recently a Ortofon 2M Red cartridge but the counter weight that came with my Project Essential 2 table is only 65g and I need a 75g one. I was able to balance it for the time being but it is barely on there Where would be a good place to order a 75g counter weight online?

vinyl addict Posted June 8, 2016 Share Posted June 8, 2016 Here it is for $20 shipped, as long as it DOES fit. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Open-Pkg-Pro-Ject-Counterweight-for-Essential-Turntables-75g-1940-875-000-/172169225783?hash=item281615e637:g:WUoAAOSwiYFXEbyN Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bluethumb Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 (edited) I also just upgraded to a 2M Blue and had to get the counterweight. Henley's price is best but they don't deliver outside of the UK, I just picked mine up here: $20 plus $12 to 2-day ship it http://www.musicdirect.com/p-5019-pro-ject-standard-counterweight.aspx I'd just make sure (for anyone else looking) you make sure it's the right part. For example the eBay listing above says it's the 75g weight but the part number is for a smaller weight that wouldn't be heavy enough. Cheers.
