I'm looking for a tonearm counter weight for a JVC QL-Y5F

Hi, it will be difficult to get; you can try to get it done by a turner after knowing how many grams weighs
On my Denon DA 309 I did so.

Thanks   doesn't hurt to ask around...

You might have to buy another complete TT! I assume you got the QL-5YF for free or paid very little for it (thrift store find?).

Actually I bought this table new. Lost the counter balance in a recent move. I'm heartbroken to think this table is now junk. Looked for a parts donor / No luck so far.

I was looking at that exact table on eBay a few weeks ago and it was missing the counterweight. That’s why it was cheap obviously.

So a further eBay search did actually turn up a counterweight!

I was going to buy the tt and the counterweight but went a different direction.

I assume you have searched eBay.

Point is that they are out there but you may have to wait a while.

Good luck.

My tone arm shaft size is .540 in. / 13.71 mm.   I have read the weight is between 110 / 120 grams.  Original is not necessary if it will work & get me up & running I'll take it....thanks

You can always try searching for a compatible from another brand after measuring the inside diameter and comparing the weight.

No idea if something like this would work for now but there are quite a number of JVC counterweights on eBay.

It cannot hurt to message a few of the sellers and ask them if they can measure the id and check the actual weight for you?

Just a thought.
