Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge

THat plastic AR scale works good, and its very flexible if you need to set up some record shredders. The only problem is the stock weights only get you to 0.25g increments, though nothing says you can't sub your own weights. Small washers and such will do just as well as the original plastic discs.

Yep, but 0.25gr has seemed to work for me, if I need to fine tune , I just line up the little dial on the tonearm weight and go from there. The dial on my main TT is in 0.1 gr. increments . I really don't see a need for 0.001gr. on any carts. The one seminole54 suggested, I'm going to try, heck it's only $13.

This is the best one I have found. Platform is low(height of platter mat) and non-magnetic. Just take off the mat to use and you are at height of mat and LP.

Thanks seminole54. I just ordered this on the link (dx.com) and then read the reviews and saw that the 5 gram calibration weight in not included and is needed for the initial calibration of the scale. I had to place a second order for the weight ($1.93). So, if anyone else orders this, make sure to order the calibration weight at the same time.

EDIT: Just noticed that other reviews say that the calibration weight did come with the scale. If so, I guess that I will have a spare. Better than none at all.
