This one gets the job done, but it's not as easy as a digial scale. I had one of these, and compared it to my digitial scale, and it was pretty much spot on. $36

Or, you can buy a digital one. Way more accurate, but $139

Ok I bought that thing, read the directions and attempted to use it, only to find out my turntable doesn't have an adjustable counterweight or any kind of anti-skating controls :( I guess I'm out of luck, Against the Grain is still skipping :(

That totally sucks!!! If your turntable doesn't have a counterweight, it's probably a cheaper turntable, hence the skipping. I have 3000+ records, and not one of them skips. Having a nicer tonearm and stylus with the right tracking force makes a world of difference. Stop buying new records for a few months, and put that money into a quality turntable.

I'm not going to lie, my record player is probably pretty crappy (I don't think there's anything to adjust), and I did make an attempt to "clean" (i.e., "brush") the record, but I don't think that was the issue (the record looks fine). My record player does play the "Suffer" and "No Control" records perfectly fine (as well as the large majority of my record collection), but I can't listen to this record without it skipping every few seconds.

My White Trash on white skips every few seconds on both sides. Worst part is I bought it off of ebay. Heavy Petting Zoo also skips but not that bad. SLATFATS skips once, Against the Grain had a few skips. But White Trash is unlistenable. The copy I bought was still sealed, too.

damn, this sucks hard. got my copies today. spinning them right now..

hi tech equipment..

edit: everythings fine.

Did anyone else order a Descendents hoodie? Mine fits good in the body but the arms and hood are fucking huge! I've never seen a hoodie fit like this. Bums me out.

I have the white one. It shrunk quite a bit and its a little short on me but everything fits me fine.

i was gonna get one until i saw how much was in my cart so i took that off. i'm glad i didn't get it since everyone says it fits like crap
