Wanted: Shure SFG-2 Stylus Tracking Force Gauge

[Clothears]

I used to have one of these gauges and rather foolishly sold it on.

Anyone got one that they wish to sell?

Cheers

In actual fact, the Ortofon one for under a tenner is more accurate on the main settings than the Shure, which had errors - well mine did. My Shure is long gone now but I use the Ortofon regularly.

Thanks for that tip, I think I'll go for the Ortofon instead. At £7.50, you can't go wrong.

I've seen the Shure for about the same price.

No one as old fashion as i, however im very paranoid about VTF set oop.

I don't fully trust digital gauges as I find they can give different readings when I repeatedly check vtf. I find tapping the weighing platform helps. I sometimes use my Shure as a double check, they are more fiddly but more consistent.
