Strain Gage, Sources of

[gmv]

Hello,

Does anyone know a good source for strain gages ?

I just want a strain gage and not the electronics
everyone tries to sell with it.

I checked Google and could find only one supplier
and the prices were all too high.

I am experimenting with the idea of using a strain gage
as a seismic sensor and need a cheap source of parts.
Used parts are A-OK.

I figure you might be able to simply support a mass
upon a strain gage somehow then extract the signal
down to the noise grass then look for seismic signals.

Any ideas here are welcome.
