I spoke to VPI about it and they said some of the scale will be magnetized because of the the manufacturing process of the stainless steel in the scale. They said they can exchange it for me if I send it in. I will do a follow up when I get it back.
VPI Classic III force gauge
My VIP Classic 3 came with a small digital force gauge, but when I try to set the VTA on the TT the gauge grab the stylus because this gauge is magnetized. I am a bit worried that my cantilever might break off if I use this digital gauge. Has anyone had any issues with this gauge? Also have you compared its accuracy with other gauges including the Shure gauge? One would think since VPI supplied this gauge it should be OK, but I don't think so.
