Stainless Steel Counterweights
for Astro-Physics 900GTO, 1200GTO & Mach1*

These stainless steel counterweights fit a 1.875" dia. shaft.

Each weight has rounded edges, a bronze bushing, and a non-rotating brass plunger to prevent scarring of the counterweight shaft. The brass plunger has a stainless steel spring so it retracts when you loosen the thumbscrew. On other companies' weights the plunger falls into the bore. and prevents it from going on the shaft - unless the knob is down.

*Mach1 must have optional 1.875" dia counterweight shaft.

Stainless Steel Knobs

Machined from solid stainless steel , these new low-profile knobs knobs are less likely to snag cables, and more likely to survive being dropped on concrete. They also look good.

Old counterweights can be upgraded with the new knobs.

The weights come in three sizes with your choice of knobs:
7 lbs
1" long x 6" dia.
for 1.875" dia. shaft
