One source is Neuses Tools in the Chicago area http://www.pkneuses.com/.
They specialize in tools for the telecommunications industry. They are a
small speciallized company and are therefore a bit pricey but by golly
they've got a selection of eight spring tension guage products from 0 - 10
grams up to 2000 grams range.

Another real neat company who has a truly heavenly selection of tools for
the precision craftsman/restorer/modelmaker is Small Parts Inc. at
http://www.smallparts.com/. I've got their catalog and am extremely
impressed by their selection of tools, supplies, books, resources and hard
to find stuff contained within. In looking at it I hyperventilate at some
of the goodies! :-)

Regards, Chris
