My trusty old DIY scale, which I have mentioned on this forum before and which has served me many a good year, has eventually traded the current with the infinite. A moment of silence while we grieve this please........
Okay, moment over. With this I went into a scale buying spree as I could not yet find a exact replacement of the one I had. Evidence below:
Scale 1: Very good, accurate, but when you press tare you need to put your finger below it as the work area cannot be soft like here with my giant mouse pad. Fail
Scale 2: Excellent little scale! Accurate, no fuss about pressing tare, nothing. Only goes up to 200g. Fail.
Scales 3 and 4: Scale 3 is the bigger culprit here but both do it where there is like a 0.5 - 1second delay before it starts indicating the weight. Fail.
[EDIT] Insert is example of the scale I had
Now I can import one like the one I had, but that has its own complications at the moment (e.g. I needed to import a computer fan from America and USP does not ship here anymore so I had to use courier, so the fan which cost $15 had a shipment fee of $40!!) and it will take a while to get here as well.
So, the question out there is, where can I get a proper scale, one that does 0.01g - 500g/600g?? I am willing to pay a little extra but if you tell me scale XYZ is excellent but costs R2K then I am gonna have a mini heart attack.
Please help!!
