[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 864660, member: 39764"] My take is simply this... The load cell and it's accompaning components and their ability to indicate a weight and do it with exact repetition, is entirely based on the quality of the components and we all know that most manufacturers buy the least expensive components and that would directly impact the accuracy, especially the repetitive accuracy.. Having said that, If I was to purchase an electronic scale, I'd buy the best available, not a cheap Chinese knockoff..... Whereas... A mechanical scale don't rely on electronics but rather a known differential between the item to be weighed and the offsetting weight on the balance beam. The only factor that impacts repetitive accurate repetitive weighing is the inherent friction between the axle on the beam and the bearings that support the axle. Somehow, I believe Ohaus (in the case of RCBS beam scales) has extrapolated the frictional resistance and incorporated that into the beam itself. Like everything else, you get what you pay for.
