Anyone used the jennings cd stylus scale


A friend directed me to this but he hadn't used it himself. It looks quite interesting. It is a digital scale the size and shape of a CD that is designed to measure stylus force down to .01 gram. Close enough for government work sez I .It is available for $39.99 + shipping in a 100 g version from different sites. One has a calibration 100 g weight available. Also available in a 500 g version for you Denon 103 users. [Just kidding , I have one myself] This looks quite interesting. If I get one I will post the results. Old Will Knott Scales has them as well as a pocket scale that should also work for $16.95.

I have one, and if I were you, I wouldn't bother, It's a finicky little thing. The packaging is weird --the little platform where you place the stylus is packaged OUTSIDE the clamshell box, just begging to be broken off. Periodically it refuses to return to zero and has to be poked and prodded until it does. Maybe I don't have the same one, though, since mine registers (when it feels like it) only to to .1g. Dave
Nope, that's not the one I have. I agree, it looks totally cool. With any luck, it might even work :-)
