Re: Dunno what your definition of big bucks is, but (link)

In my way of thinking, this might be a bit expensive for a 5-gram scale with only 0.01-g resolution. It would seem to me that a 5-g scale should have 0.001-g resolution. Anyway, I use a 50-gram scale with 0.01-g resolution and I like it very much because I can measure other things such as cartridges and envelopes, etc. I just think you might be limiting yourself with a scale that can measure a maximum of only 5-grams.

There is an inexpensive 50-gram scale on eBay that might work just fine. On the other hand, I have no experience with it. I've been using an Escali Liberta 50 Gram Digital Pocket scale for several years that I like very much. I place it beside my platter and use a plastic platform (spray can top) to make sure the stylus is always weighed at vinyl level. It is very accurate and very versatile.

Good luck,
John Elison
