In Reply to: I've been given an old Shure SFG-2 gauge, but... posted by IBSmiester on September 14, 2006 at 20:09:16:
The SFG 20 uses a steel blade with groove to fit the stylus into. The steel of the gage is ferrous and is attracted by the magnet in the cartridge that rests its stylus in the groove. In what way will this make the vtf reading inaccurate...? I can't think of any way that it will. The scale is still functioning correctly no matter how much pulling force exists between the cartridge and lever.If the cartridge were being pulled against the platter that would obviously interfere with the reading of the scale. But it isn't.
I'm not sure what the concern is here.
