Digital Stylus Force Gauge: Which One??

I got the $150. digital Wally Scale about six months ago, and it's really great. Will measure (with extra, supplied 0.05 gram weight) to nearest 1/20th gram. It's consisent and very accurate. I found it very useful in setting up my Naim Aro/Ortofon Jubilee. Easy to use - works great with any cart.

I also have an old Shure SFG-2 gauge that Sdcampbell mentioned. It is fairly accurate - probably within 2/10th gram - and entirely adequate for most purposes. But due to the "skirts" on the bottom of the Ortofon, I found it difficult to get an accurate VTF reading with the Shure.

Sc53 - you can order all Wally Tools directly from Wally M. himself. When I ordered my WallyScale from him (last September) there was no wait, and I got it in a couple of days. Nothing against MusicDirect (I've bought stuff from them several times and have found their service excellent), but if one is considering a WallyScale, I'd contact him directly and get the low-down on delivery time.

Wally's email address is: wwmalewi@aol.com. He can be reached at home (Minnesota) at (763)478-6685.

He's a great fellow, and if you do speak to him, tell him that Robert-With-Almost-Polish-Name said "hello"!
