These Marantz turntables are such a beauty! I'm looking for info about the antiskate weight for mine's, any insight on this will be very helpful!

[@tachikaze7]

Yeah, they really are amazing in looks and sound. What model do you have? Maybe I can give you some advice on how to make you own weight. That is what I have had to do a few times. Worked perfectly.

@@tachikaze7 Mine's is Model 6120, it's basically the 6110 but with a straight tonearm, everything else is the same.

@@the.matcardozo Interesting... Never heard of that model. Pretty cool, though. So the anti-skate weight weighs in at 0.8 grams. If you do any fishing, an easy way around finding a replacement on eBay would be to use the lightest test fishing line you have, run it through a bullet weight, tie off the knot and then tie off a loop to hook around the tonearm anti-skate lever. Odds of finding a weight in a tackle box that is that exact gram is rare. But you could find a slightly heavier one and just cut some of the lead off to get it down to 0.8 grams. But to be honest, the anti-skate systems on these older turntables aren't extremely precise anyway. You could get away with a 1 gram weight fine.
Your other choice is something like this: www.patsaudioparts.com/single-post/2018/04/15/marantz-6110-turntable-anti-skate-bias-weight
