[78-L] Got one of these in your attic?

[Ron L'Herault]

It's a counterweight, not enough of one in some respects but that's what it
is.  I have an additional slip on weight that I believe was part of a "kit"
sold to reduce wear on the Victor "LPs" that were introduced in the early
30s.  I have a second one that slips on the end of the straight tone arm
that has an inverted U cross section too.  They have felt linings the same
color as Victor turn table felt.

Can anyone explain why the early RCA electric tonearms had those huge metal
"shoulders" behind the pickup?  Was it to trip some record changer mechanism
only installed in some models or...  ...What?!
