I use a blood pressure monitor, calibrated in mm of Hg, also known as a sphygmomanometer. They are available on Amazon - try to get one that is marked down to 10 mm. If you can't find one on-line, I may be able to help with one that is locally sourced.
One psi is about 50 mm Hg, so I run at the bottom of the scale, between 9 mm and 35 mm; mostly 15-30 mm. I also use a precision regulator from Fairchild, model 10224; mine came from Telematic Controls in Alberta.
Surge suppression is a two stage effort downstream. The first is a one gallon jar filled with cotton balls, fed by a plastic tube reaching down from the lid. There are holes in the plastic tube - much like a glass-pack muffler. The second surge tank is just a 5 gallon plastic water jug.
BDP, I don't have the Salvation TT, although I expect they are wonderful. I have a Nottingham Mentor with modern bearing, motor and controller, and a massive aluminum-plywood-aluminum sandwich for a plinth, as a second TT. My primary TT is a DIY air bearing unit with 45 kg cast-iron/graphite platter.
