SOTA Sapphire Turntable setup - how much lead?

O ye men of wisdom:

I am the owner of a used SOTA Sapphire, which uses lead shot to balance the subchassis. The original owner did not keep the unused shot so now I am wondering:

What is the total amount or weight of the lead supplied with the turntable originally? I have enough lead, I just don't know the right amount to start with. Any assistance would be sincerely appreciated.

I've had 3 Sota tables including the current version of NOVA. I found I wonderfully balance the chassis of the NOVA without any shot. I have a heavy armboard. Experiment some after you read through the manual Swampwalker has offered you.

Suggestion. Consider spikes for your table. I have found an appreciable difference using them instead of the standard feet.

You can also contact the kind folks at SOTA for input.
