Brett,
There’s been 3 or 4 places (ebay, aliexpress etc) but I think the general
sources are all the same – somewhere in China, and for most amateur static
testing purposes, they’re … maybe… close enough.
Cheers,
Troy

Troy,
Which places have you purchased the bad load cells from? (I'm going to be
buying some soon, so it would be good to find out.)

On Sugpro Kelly Jones pointed these out: https://amzn.to/2OxOfyP
$8.50 for a 1, 10, or 20kg beam loadcell and amplifier. Seems ideal for
building small solids, or cold gas thrusters, or spark torch igniters. Don't
even have to worry about blowing it up at that price.
You still need a DAQ, but that can be an Arduino or an all-in-one or even a
recording o-scope.
