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!

Rockyboy, thanks for initiating this thread, and Sdcampbell, thanks for posting that link. I just stumbled across this thread while searching for info on the FT-3. I have been searching for info on this arm for awhile - I bought a used VPI HW-19 Mk. III earlier this year, and that arm went along with it. While I had it set up professionally, it did not come with the manual, and I had gotten a little discouraged trying to get additional info. Now I can proceed with cartridge upgrade as well. Thanks!
According to the A'Gon bluebook, the FT-3 retailed for $475. However, my dealer informed me when I bought the table and arm, that the whole package was from the mid-80s, so I would assume it would go for more today.
