What's the tonearm mass of the Premier FT-3


Anyone know the effective mass of the Premier FT-3 tonearm?

I'm trying to ensure that my cartridge and arm are compatible.

thanks!

I gave more than that for mine. I gave a little over $500 and got it from a discounter, as always. Anybody here not into discounts???

If you need actual info let me know I can scan and e-mail data sheets.

DATA

THEY ONYL RECOMMEND Cartridges of mass from X-14 grams if both weights are used or X-8 gms with the primary weight.
Over all length 305 mm
Effective length pivot to sylus 239 mm
Overhang 17.3 mm
Offset angle 23 degrees
Mnt distance record cntr to pivot 221.7 mm
Max back swing 54 degree
Cartridge weight up to 8 gms primary weight
uo to 14 gms with both weights
This comes with or without silicone damp
Damping fluid is reckomended only for cartridges with very low dynamic compliance below 10X10(negative 6) cm/dyne

It's a fine arm, leave the $$$ out of it.

Hope that helps,
