Cardas Upgrade - Arm Balancing Problem

Hey guys, I just upgraded my RB300 arm wires to the Cardas wire set-up and installed a new cartridge on it all at the same time. The cartridge is the Goldring 1042.

When I balance the arm while the tracking is set to zero the arm floats all the way up. The counter weight (standard) is set all the way to the "front part" of the rear stub and the arm floats all the way up to its highest position.

Is the Goldring that light, or is the wire that much lighter than the standard wire? Did the guy who did the upgrade screw up some kind of bearing?

I'm here, but I have to confess I didn't know the answer to your problem. When things are modified, I have no way of knowing what was done, or how it was done, so I could really be of no help. This is why I didn't respond to the thread.

It sounds like you've got it fixed now, so I am glad about that. I know it's a pain when the rig is not working.t
