aaaaand I had to remove one penny. It was experiencing tracking problems. It has more to do with the design of the arm than the tracking force. Much better with 3 pennies and that's still tracking at 3.3 grams at the outer edge and 3.5 on the inner grooves.

AT-LP60 arm now counterweighted down to 3.3 grams at the innermost point and 3.0 grams at the outer edge. Back within factory spec and possibly even a little lighter.
Taped four Canadian pennies to the back of the arm (atop the counterbalance spring) and that was enough to bring it down by a gram. Prayers this thing will play without skipping, since it certainly didn’t skip at the heavier VTF…I’ll be bringing some wax from storage tomorrow to test it out.
