Thorens "Kugelarm"


Anyone know about the tonearms supplied on the Thorens TD 150 and 150AB in the mid 60's and 70's? The tonearm models were the 13 and 13A, one I believe called the Kugelarm, named for the cannonball-like appearance of the counterweight. I'd like to know if one or both of these arms are light enough on which to install a high compliance cartridge such as the Shure V15III MR or other high compliance cartridges of the era.

And here I thought that a "kugel" was a pudding made of noodles or potatoes. It's true that after eating enough of it one does feel as if one swallowed a cannon ball. Maybe that's how the name was derived. Anyway, my grandmother made some wonderful kugels in her day.
