Have any of you "Chatters" weighed various counterweights? Specifically... I am wondering which King counterweight is heavier: three-piece screw-on or newer style.

I am thinking that having a database of weights might be useful. I weighed a bunch but that was years ago. The spreadsheet is probably somewhere...

That would be a cool addition to the wiki. Unfortunately, I sold most of my counterweights last year; I used to have quite the collection. Don't have any King weights anymore!

I just weighed the ones I have. The nickel plated 2 piece I have is 6.1 Ounces, decal not included.

I have 4 three piece weights all from the H.N. White Cleveland OH era. These weigh between 5.8 and 6.1 ounces using a digital food grade scale (pretty accurate), though a couple look like they have been buffed previously.
