I've been looking at this one for awhile. I have the Winds but for the money this one would come in handy when traveling to help others with tonearm set up.

$28.00 scales

The Jennings JS-50X or JS-100X should do the trick at $35 or $50. You have a good TT/cart. and need something with 1/100th of a gram precision. You can spend more if you want to, but you won't get anything really any better for the purpose of VTF setup.

I bought mine from saveonscales.com like Nsgarch did. It was a few years ago so it cost me $90-something. Equivalent models today are half that or less, as he said. Ebay sellers have them for very cheap too. I agree with his .01g recommendation too. It's silly to go for less.

You'll probably have to DIY some doohickey to hang off the edge of the scale and provide a record-height weighing step like the Winds has. I'm wagering you can do that for alot less than $300, especially if you use the cut-up pieces of a credit card to make it!

Wow! You guys are amazing!
I'm getting back into vinyl and can't seem to fing my
trusty Shure stylus force guage.
Is there that big a difference between this mechanical
device and these digital scales?
Thanks
