Weathers had, IIRC, a very light platter, an AR-like sprung suspension and a wooden tonearm, intended to reduce resonances in the audible range. I used to see ads and stories about Weathers occasionally in magazines of the day (High Fidelity, HiFi/Stereo Review), but I'm not sure I ever saw one in person. There were no dealers in the San Diego area. I think the Weathers disappeared from commercial visibility around 1964, maybe earlier. I'd be happy to be corrected on that last point. I'd think finding parts and belts would be a near impossibility. The AR-XA was Weathers' successor in that segment of the market.
