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 used to own the FT-3 tonearm, and based solely on memory (which is a little faulty these days), I think the tonearm mass was about 10 grams. You might want to look at the web site called "The Vinyl Engine", which has a long list of downloadable users' manuals for tonearms, turntables, etc. You have to join the web site, but I think it's free. The site does have the owner's manual for the FT-3 available. Here's the link:

Thanks much! I'll check out the site. Do you remember the list price for the FT-3 arm? I'm just curious. I bought a used SOTA Sapphire turntable over ten years ago and the FT-3 was on it. For some unknown reason, I assumed that the arm was probably an entry level arm; so I bought an entry level cartridge - Benz MC20. I probably should have stretched and purchased a better cartridge.
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!
