Bill,
There are many ways to do this, but two come to mind. You could try putting the brake on the speed controller(im not the biggest fan of that one) or you could attach a cable to the arm and run it over a pulley at the pivot point arm then attach it to surgical tubing and a fixed point. You can then adjust the tubing to the point that the arm doesnt fall. The cable will travel along the pulley as the arm moves.
Just a thought...gl, Jimmy/T#27
