Re: Balance of an AP 1200
Joe Zeglinski
That's a good point, Mark. I hadn't considered the pivot point being

overloaded. But if the pivot point is balanced on either side (OTA versus weights), then the amount of stress would be very nearly the same in either situation. Actually, with the new shorter counterweight bar - I think it is thicker, the bar adds more weight as a counter weight itself, while the actual weights can now sit higher, because of this extra. Of course, I have the AP900, which has a much shorter shaft then that on the AP1200. I'm always impressed to see such a long shaft with so many small diameter separate weights on it. Since the shaft does not move - like on a G11, etc., I wonder if multiple (maybe 3) weights could be fashioned around a disk/plate higher up, with a shorter AP1200 shaft - instead of such a long one with small diameter weights.
