does it matter which balancer? Etti magnetic or no name?

[CraigP]

There's a magnetic one on the OSE site that works fine for me

The Du-bro balancer is a bit more accurate than a magnetic balancer.

[CraigP]

This is true... I've also found that some of the SS Prather props are mildly magnetic, skewing the results.

Craig, I'm still working on that ss stuff tube experiment.

These are two of the most informative videos I have found on the tube.
