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.

If you have a scale, then weight the arm-board and arm. Then and enough lead to flatten the sub-plinth and then take out the amount of lead to equal the arm board and arm. Then attach the arm-board and arm and all should be well.

Signed Man of Wisdom.

This is from memory. About 6 years ago I had a Sapphire. If I am totally wrong don't slam please. My ego is very fragile.
