Belt Tension Gauge

I just realized that changing my own belts should be a piece of cake. However, I'd like to adjust the tension accurately instead of just feeling it or eyeballing it.

The service manual says to use a belt tension gauge BT 3373-F or equivalent. I've figured out that this is a Burroughs Tool part number but that's about it. I've been looking high and low and this thing seems non existent for sale. There are many references for using it online but really no one selling it.

I know there are other tension gauges out there, but not sure if they are the right range and work the same way.

Anyway, anyone know of a specific good gauge I could use or where I could find a BT 3373-F?

Thanks!

I've never read on the FSM that a gauge is needed, only a deflection range in mm.

IIRC, 6-7mm for the AC & 2-3 for the PS.
