Stylus force digital scales


Digital scales from Clearaudio and others range from $200-500. Amazon has 'em for $20. Why cant I use one of these instead and save big bucks?

one word of caution

If you are using a Clearaudio table with one of the magnetic field arms, you must make sure that the scale measuring point is at the exact same height as the record surface otherwise it could be off considerably.

I use the cheaper model electronic scales ( I have two), and the clearaudio teeter totter scale. When using the cheap electronic ones, I just make sure that I verify their accuracy by measuring the weight of both a penny (2.5 grams) and a nickel (5 grams). Batteries are low when they are off on mine.
