Stylus Force Gauge

Anyone have experience with the newer digital stylus force gauges? If so which ones and recommended over another?

Have been using the venerable Shure SFG-2 since Noah built the Ark.

Getting up in years now, weak eyes, shaking hands all the crap with gaining wisdom, or so I think.

Anyway let me know if any of the analog mavens are using these newer Digital devices.

Thanks

HI Hdm,

that is a decent scale. I had one for a couple of years before the display died. Your advice to buy a couple of these is very good advice indeed. :-)

I bought a ProScale LC-50 and made a weighing step for it. One could buy three or four of the Canrong scales for the price of an LC-50.

Sounds like it should be named "Canwrong".

I suggest no one go near the Canrong, had one for three years used it only once and this week the LED display was all over the place. Used the thing only once, even changed the batteries, going to look for a better, more solid alternative. 75.00 for something this flimsy is no good. Avoid!!!!

While I will agree that many of us paid way too much for these scales in the past due to some effective marketing and pricing, you have to admit that for $13 it would be a decent alternative. While they may not last forever, they do seem to be accurate.

Guess I got lucky; My Canrong is on year 3 and only the second set of batteries.
