Help with early SME 3009 counter weight

I have an early SME 3009 with a fixed rear counter weight and a light weight SME headshell. I would like to use it with a TD 124MK1. Is there any way to use this set up with a light weight MM cartridge. For example if I could find a sliding counter weight from a newer 3009 would this work? Or am I better off selling and buying a newer 3009. Any suggestions appreciated.

I've set up some pretty old 3009s, and every one had adjustable counterweights . . . I agree with Corby in that something must be modified or missing.

Try going to www.vinylengine.com and downloading a 3009 manual; from there you should be able to figure out what's going on. They work great with fairly lightweight MM cartridges BTW.
