[Overview]
Elevate your vintage SME tonearm to audiophile-grade perfection with this rare, precision-crafted Gunmetal Heavy Counterweight.

Meticulously manufactured approximately 10 years ago from scarce, highly sought-after gunmetal (bronze alloy renowned for its superior acoustic damping and resonance control) and carefully stored ever since. Equipped with a precision-machined solid brass mounting screw.
(Please note: This is a specialized aftermarket upgrade part, not an official factory OEM SME component.)

While the original SME 1902HWR heavyweight covers 20.5g–28.5g, this custom 160g gunmetal weight expands your cartridge compatibility range to 17g to 33g, making it fully compatible with ultra-heavyweight masterclass cartridges such as the Ortofon SPU series.

[Key Features & Engineering]
Rare Gunmetal Material: Crafted from high-density gunmetal, prized in vintage audio engineering for eliminating micro-vibrations and enriching tonal warmth.
Extended Cartridge Range: Accommodates heavy cartridge and headshell combinations from 17g up to 32g.
Micro-Adjustment Tracking System: Precision-calibrated so that every 1 and 1/3 rotations (4 engraved index marks) equals exactly 1g of tracking force (0.25g per single mark). Fully compatible with sub-weight systems for heavy tracking requirements.
Expert Craftsmanship: Custom-machined for the SME 3009 Series II Improved shaft profile with a stunning polished gunmetal finish and brass screw.
