I've always wanted to try an SPU cartridge, but I don't know which extra counterweight to use for my arm. Should I use the 64 gram or 77 gram additional counterweight. Any help will be very appreciative as I have to either find one on the used market or have one made.

You need to use additional counterweight.

yes thank you, but which additional counterweight-64 gram or 77 gram-would either work better or is for the 3010r.

3010-R only comes with 66 gram counterweight, that's the one you use.

You can get a counterweight from SME.

Yes,I sent them an email.
In case they can't deliver it , you can try seller father1975 from eBay. He got me some NOS SME pieces in the past, payment was much easier to do than with SME.
