[QUOTE="Lenny Foffa, post: 2270524, member: 100742"] A Million years ago I was in the Electronic scale business for a short while. I learned a thing. That is ,In a Balance Beam type scale, the V shaped blade under the beam rides in a piece of Agate ( spelling ) that is notched to the shape of the V blade under the beam. I was taught that the worst thing you could do a scale like that was to slide it on you bench ,or push it away when your all done with it. [B]The blade under the beam bounces the the Agate stone and causes Micro Chips in the stone, and accuracy diminishes [/B] [B] the more you[/B] [B]do that. [/B] So after 10 or 15 years of using the scale, and sliding it out of the way on your bench, the blade , and the Agate stone are no longer perfect as the where when they were new. Maybe an old scale company , or the manufacture can replace the stone. The next time you get one be very gentler with it. IMHO [/QUOTE]
