    Default Looking for a good digital stylus force gauge

    Hoping to find a digital stylus force gauge accurate to 0.01. Really don't want to pay more then $100. Needs to last forever and ever. Any suggestions?

    I bought mine from Mehran of SORAsound:

    paid a bit less than the asking price. Works great. I've also used setups similar to the jigs that are from Wally of WallyTractor fame using "hydroponic" scales off Ebay:

    and "hydroponic" scale on Ebay:

    edit: mine is like that one, except 0.01g. Just search for 0.01g scale.

    no problem! it's a really great little toy... my dealer has a Winds gauge and I "calibrated" mine against that... they differed by like +0.06g I believe. I also have a few weights around that I use as sanity checks, but the scale has been rock solid.
