me either.....use the Shure Bros. scale. It will get you into the ball park and then use your ears. There is no need for an electronic scale.
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.
