But My EQ6 was purchased without counterweights. At the Tweed Heads Mens Shed, I wanted to learn to use their Metal Working Lathe. Made up some aluminium adaptors with help, so that I can use Weightlifting weights as my counterweights on that EQ6 [or on my EQ5. If I sell the EQ5 will keep its counterweights and sell it with those weightlifting weights]. Was very easy to do on that Lathe. Need more Lathe lessons but they teach me for free -- well $50 per year membership and $5-- per week for coffee, etc.
I got those plastic coated weightlifting weights free of charge as the men's shed had some hanging around. Could have purchased 2 kilogram wigs from a local op-shop for $3-- each, if I did not have these others given to me.
