Shure SFG-2 Precision Stylus Force Gauge w/ Box & Instructions Vintage Rare Very clean gauge Box show some wear SHIPS SAME DAY

This is a very gently pre-owned and very lightly used, if at all, premium-quality stylus force gauge from SHURE.  This is the PRECISION STYLUS FORCE GAUGE, Model SFG-2.  The manufacturer says “Be Shure your turntable is on the right track. Did you know that dialing in the proper tracking force for your turntable's phono cartridge is crucial for optimum playback? Too little force, and the stylus won't seat properly in the grooves, potentially causing skipping (or mistracking), and increased wear to your stylus and precious vinyl LPs. Too much force, and you'll over-compress your cartridge's internal suspension mechanism, causing its internal signal generating assembly to become misaligned and resulting in a loss of performance. Unfortunately, the traditional method of calibrating your 'table's tracking force — floating the tonearm, then twisting the counterweight to the desired setting — can actually be inaccurate by a wide margin. That's why we strongly recommend the Shure SFG-2 to anyone looking to really fine-tune their rig. This simple, easy-to-use stylus force gauge ensures that your cartridge is tracking precisely at the manufacturer's recommended setting, giving you the best possible sound quality, and minimizing wear and tear on your stylus and records. Features and advantages include: ensures proper stylus tracking force to prevent mistracking, excessive record and stylus wear, and poor sound reproduction; easy-to-use, balance-beam design accurate to within .1 grams in primary operating range (0.5 to 1.5 grams); measures tracking forces from 0.5 to 3.0 grams in .05 gram increments; roller bearing pin pivots for minimal friction and smooth operation; each gauge individually factory calibrated for a high degree of accuracy”.  Item includes the gauge and instructions in a protective snap case and the original outer box.  The outer box is complete and sound but shows some storage and handling wear and has been taped.  This item was obtained in an estate sale lot and has been used very little, if at all.  It is in perfect cosmetic and mechanical condition.  These sell for as much as $49.99 but you can own this one for less.  A digital copy of the manual is available at pdf.crutchfieldonline.com/ImageBank/v20150923113200/Manuals/183/183SFG2.PDF.  This item is being sold as is and as shown.  Please ask any questions before bidding.  Check my feedback and bid with confidence.  Returns will be accepted if the item is grossly misrepresented or dead on arrival in the case of electronics.  Buyer’s discretionary (without cause or reason) returns are subject to buyer payment for both shipments.  Shipping at the cost shown is to U.S. Lower 48 only.  For AK, HI, U.S. Territories and overseas addresses please ask for a quote before bidding.  Tracking information will be added to the ebay item listing upon shipment.  Payment is through eBay only.  Payment is required within three (3) days of auction closing.  Feedback is left when feedback is received.  If you are not going to leave 5 Star ratings please contact us and give us the chance to make things right.    We are a disabled veteran owned and operated enterprise.  Thank you for your support.

Shure SFG-2 Stylus Force Gauge Includes original packaging, excellent condition. A small crease to the packaging cover flap but that was all I noted. Measures from 0.5 to 3 grams of force. Ive moved into the world of vintage Ortofon SPUs which grind into your LPs at 4+ grams of force so I have bought a different guage and I am downsizing and cant justify keeping two guages. But this is a very cool and period correct gauge for modern styli. I am still selling a few of pieces of hi fi as part of this downsizing so please see my other auctions. Thanks for looking and good luck!
