Was digging thru some storage boxes recently and some old and forgotten equipment I had. Since I also recently pulled my vintage 1977 turntable out and connected it I thought this stuff might come in handy. Anyone know what vintage a white zero Stat gun is? The only markings are zeroStat anti static pistol made in england. It's been so long I forgot how to use it. Still works though as my finger will attest to. Also found a Sure stylus force gauge no clue how to use it either. Along with that some vintage cartridges. Can anyone enlighten me?
Zerostat: Old is Gold?
I was recently in the market for a Zerostat gun. I looked online and saw that they had moved their production from England to China. Of course, without any reduction in price. As I try to avoid Chinese manufacture as much as I can, I thought I would buy a used one on ebay. I bid on a few auctions but was surprised to see them selling for around $50 for one in decent (but hardly new) condition. The new blue Zerostats from China are $80 and up.
Are the old Zerostats in some way superior to the newer Chinese made that would justify the (IMO) relatively high prices being realized for the original guns?
