RE: Great stylus force gauge-cheap

> What has surprised me is the accuracy of almost all turntables' built-in tracking force adjustments, based on agreement with the "minidisc" gauge.

I agree! I use a digital scale but both my current tonearms have built-in scales that agree completely with my digital scale. One is my Technics tonearm on my SL-1200 Mk2 turntable and the other is my SME V tonearm on my Sota Millennia Vacuum turntable. Therefore, if you don't have a digital scale, you will find that many tonearms have accurate built-in scales for adjust VTF.

Best regards,
