Ortofon DS-1 Stylus Force Gauge from Needle Doctor Sweepstakes
According to the company:
The DS-1 is manufactured in Japan, and is among the most accurate stylus force gauges available today. Offering a reading up to 0.1, the DS-1 allows the user to carefully dial in the designated tracking force for any phono cartridge. Safe to use with either MM or MC type cartridges, the DS-1 is as versatile as it comes.Setting the tracking force of a phono cartridge accurately goes a long way in how good your vinyl rig will sound. Folks can even taylor the sort of sound they prefer by making slight adjustments either way.
The DS-1 helps take the pain out of turntable set up by offering a spot-on reading instantaneously. It's among the easiest and most important tools for your vinyl toolbox!

I'd love to win this.. my only stylus force gauge is a cheap metal see-saw shaped, junky thing with some little gram weights that I bought for a buck or two at a local store back in the 1960s.. the Ortofon is probably 203489203948209821 times more accurate..
