Steve,
I have not seen that particular brand, but the price is perfect!
Anthony Sinclair devotes a large portion of his column in the February/March
edition of In The Groove (ITG) to a hand held Tachometer similar to the one
on eBay. Faris Mailing was supposed to mail this edition of ITG in today's
mail, but I fear the nasty weather may be slowing them down a bit.
Speaking of the weather, we have 4 inches of ice on the ground
and high winds. We lost our power for a little more than an hour. It was
the perfect excuse to wind up my Orthophonic VV 7-3 and play some early
electricals that I had not heard. Hard to beat a warm fire in the
fireplace, dog snoring on the couch, adult beverage in hand and Fred Waring
playing on a Victrola.

You are 100% correct, I saw this one on amazon but I did not realize it was
the same as the one on eBay. Thanks for the post. Have you used yours and
how far off was your machines?
On the cylinder machines I set the device on the rail and I use one record
with the sticker on it. Whiteout works, I have one DD record with a crack,
I marked the end of the crack with whiteout to protect my needle and it
picked it up.
Thanks,
Steve
