Got a digital scale - Yikes!

[revox-b77]

I want one of those. Till then I am happy with the Shure SG2.

That's pretty sweet! I have to keep my eyes open for that one.

Remind me to show you one next time your out this way.

I bought one of those digital meters of which there seem to be endless brands. Mine is a Sanyo. It seems to work well and pointed out how far off the knob on my Realistic LAB-300 was.

The Pioneer was much closer.

Some are more suitable than others.

I bought one of these even cheaper. Everything I've measured on it show it to be consistently accurate. A penny, nickle and 200g calibrating weight.

The platform height is the same as a record if I take the platter mat off.

Were the instructions properly translated? I just got a little piece of paper in both Chinese and English, and the instructions for calibration did not match what the device was doing. Mine was the Neoteck branded version.

Bought same scale for next to nothing and works great for tracking force measurements. I also take mat off for measurements.

Resurrecting the thread...

Bought the Neotech and it is better than the Shure mechanical one in my case. I was tracking too low with my M91ED since at least ten years (the Shure is probably off ´cause it's higher than the digital one).

Weighted a canadian dime at exactly 1.75g.

200g calibration weight??? That thing maxes out at 5g.

I have one of those scales (unbranded), it's given me good service for years as a stylus force gauge, have had to change the battery once. Mine is accurate within +/- 0.05g or so. Usually even better than that, but sometimes it does blurp out readings which are a bit (usually around 0.05g) off.

You caught my mistype...don't know how I entered 200g weight.

Correct, 5gr.

I bought one of these a few months ago and love it. Cost was a little bit higher than my previous digitals but worth it, extremely accurate and
gets me right down to where the rubber meets the road.

I use a US nickel, 5 grams

I forgot about that !

We used to use a nickel to calibrate scales for weighing up other stuff
