+) Purpose built; no fiddlin' with shims or other kluges. Very easy to use. It measures tracking force - period; any place *on the platter, not beside it.-) For as often as I use it (w/ only one cart in play) stupid overkill. But it's been amortized and life is short.
I suspect Elison will poo-poo it, but why anyone needs .001g accuracy for measuring postage (since it appears the USPS goes by +/- 0.5 OZ)is beyond me. And, I don't know why a range for tracking force above 4-5g is meaningful, unless it's cactus thorns and 78s...

Hey, if you want to pay £199 for a scale like this, why would I ever poo-poo it? I think you deserve exactly what you get. More power to you! LOL!
and I didn't pay in LB's, but US$. And it's 225 LBs direct. About 1/3 the cost of a wheel alignment these days, as I recall, for what I paid.I never switched to CD and dumped vinyl. The first records I bought were 78's, on release, when I was in the 3rd or 4th grade. Little Richard and EP. When I move, the LPs move. Since I'm no longer a renter, I don't move anymore.
I have never ever paid a cable bill, but I have a Loricraft.
(Review your last Comcast - or equivalent - bill and cost it out for 5 yrs. Perhaps decent vinyl setup tools won't look so silly...)I have a dialup Net account paid annually ($105), but I have a purpose built tracking gauge. And the Feickert tool.
I pack my lunch, do my own laundry and housecleaning, but have a PAD TT cable.
I have *not figured out how to cut my own hair yet. But the speakers sit on custom cut Symposium Svelte's.
It's about priorities, and the value one places on maxing out the analog portion of one's music system. At least in my world...
