Sprog, I havde a 309-D and the tracking force adjustment knob works just fine for me. I do not have to move the counterweight to adjust the tracking force, just the knob.

You may want to check with Ortofon because the knob should work or it would not be on the arm.
Sprog, OK, I know what you are talking about now. Mine does the same thing. A tiny movement makes a big difference. I just barely moved the knob and got it to within 0.1 of the tracking force I wanted and left it at that. Sounds good to me, so I didn't mess with it any further. Other than that I really like the tonearm, its fit and finish and look.
Wow Sprog.

Did not know that. I will try that tomorrow on my set-up and report back my findings on this thread.

I have one of those digital scales, supposedly pretty accurate. But, heck, it beats the Shure "balance beam."
