[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 947347, member: 39764"] You need to look at the mechanics of an electronic scale versus a mechanical too. An electronic scale uses a load cell (strain gage) which may have been sourced from the least expensive supplier and may or may not be from China (who knows), plus the accompaning electronics (to read the strain gage output) may also be of questionable manufacture. Too many varibles for me. A beam scale on the other hand is bone simple and most are made by one company, Ohaus. Most are magnetically damped, have hard (agate) piviot points and are unaffected by stray magnetic sources (lights and phones or your cordless drill thats spinning your prep center) come to mind, plus, mo batteries to get discharged or line cord to get tangled up with. Narcotics dealers all use a beam scale (I presume at least) because in their business, a gram difference is a big difference....... Just say'in. [/QUOTE]
