gram weights

[Dave Swartz, RPT]

I have 3 sets.  One is a Spurlock, One is a Balumet (a local cop-off of
Spurlock) and a Pianotek.  By far, the Pianotek set is the best, easiest to
use (you only need 2 weights at one time as they stack smaller ontop of
larger) and extremely accurate.  Gee, you even get a certificate from the
metrologist himself...Bob Marinelli.  The wooden case is nice too.  I use
my other sets for paper weights and use the two 50 gram weights for key
ratio analysis.  Pianotek's are more expensive (what else is new) but well
worth it.
