All record weights the same ?

What is a good record weight.

 Do they harm the motor, or put more stress on a direct drive motor?

 Technics sl1200 mkii from the mid late 80’s.  Removed platter, unscrewed top, removed spindle , and removed clamp,  wiped off old oil, fresh oil, blew out w compressed air, oiled any moving parts. 
 Put back together, and it’s smooth as silk.

  Anyway,...WHATS A GOOD descent record weight that will hold down the LP and not harm or put more strain on the motor.

No they are not the same, shape is important (rounded the better), material is important (not ringing), weight is important (enough to hold firmly record down and not causing excess stress on some bearings). You may find that a threaded clamp would work better since you can adjust the downward force.
