I had the same experience with a Linn Basik LV X tone arm, the "old" rubber bushing which used to be stuck to the inner Plastic collar that drives the Dial / Counterweight assy had turned to a sticky tar-like mess.
There was a fix for this on Vinalengine.com, which works very well, except on mine the prevoiuse owner of th T.T. had used loctite and when these were removed the heads were damaged.
NOW,
I have not been able to find these tiny tiny grubscrews anywhere and am using the counterweight sans dial, an awkward arrangement, so, if anybody has trashed their LV X tone arm weight, and would think of getting rid of same, I am really hard up for one, at areasonable price of course.
