Mass of Tuners

How much do tuners weigh?

I know (from measurement) that Rubners have a mass of 150g and, according to Stewmac,
Schallers 139g
Gotohs 156g

Can anyone add to this list please?

RE: Mass of Tuners (in reply to orsonw)

OK so you're giving the measurement for just one tuner.

so on that basis I've got
Rubner 150/120 75g
Schaller 0646 70g
Gotoh 5835 78g

so Schallers seem to be the lightest, but there's less difference than I would have guessed
