Weights

Help please,
Can someone tell me what weight, I would need to buy for use on my CI700 with a C8 mounted and a ST 237 installed some of the time.
I bought this mount used. It came with two 25LB weights. I can not get it to balance with one 25lb, so need something smaller.
Also where would one buy weights.
I am new to this hobbie.
Thanks for any help.

I think a standard Losmandy weight is 21#. That works well for me when I have the C8, ST-80 and camera riding piggyback, and the ST-4. A 15# weight might be more what your looking for.

Astro Accessories by Robin Casady sells some real nice stainless steel weights of all different sizes. He has a link on the AstroMart home page.
