All the gauges that I am finding are in the $25-30 range, does anyone have a preferred supplier or less expensive supplier for gauges?

Thanks

CJ

Got mine off "that auction" site

Only cost me $10.00 and goes to -30 inch Hg

Not too sure about linking to "that site" but if you want the info i can send it in a PM.

Cheers

I got some gauges from:
http://stores.ebay.com/NOSHOK-Direct

Really inexpensive (Like $5+ shipping).

I've had them inline with one that came with my pump (a gast) and they don't read quite the same (i.e. the gast will read 24 in/HG where these will read 26 in/HG) - but they certainly are enough for my purposes.

This is the specific one that I purchased:

They are only $3.50 each now (+shipping)
The two advantages that I saw were:
1.) larger readout (2.5" gauge)
2.) The connector was on the back, allowing me a flush table mount
