    Where's Bernice?

    Calibration weights are necessary as is common sense.

    My tiny Chinese scales are fragile.

    As is correct scale of load as we need to use them in their 'sweet' spot.

    I hate triple beams, they are often heavily abused by...

    May even hide traces of illegal substance.

    You guys do know that all cash money has cocaine on it...

    I use an Ohaus triple beam I bought new at a local "head shop", they had many many scales to choose from.

    I use to sell them to a very small camera store along the Delaware River in PA. They were my largest dealer for them and my territory was the Hudson Valley, NJ and eastern PA.

    They bought so many because some local weed growers kept getting busted by the local police, state police and DEA. Each time they were busted all their equipment was confiscated. They used the Ohaus for measuring their product.

    I presume that accuracy was important to them. But we never could figure out how they got back in business so fast!

    I have purchased from them as well. I purchased a jewelry scale with a tare function and a weight for calibration. I believe the brand was MyWeigh as well.

    Thanks Everyone! Such a huge selection...had no idea!

    Loads of low-cost electronic options, and my guess is that I'll go with one of these...along with the recommended set of calibration weights.

    I just found my lab scale (nothing's where it's supposed to be - long story) -
    It's the MyWeigh brand, model 700 (700 is the capacity in grams). Claimed accuracy ±0.1g. Reads in Grams, Ounces, 1/8 Ounces, 1/4 Ounces.

    It's been very reliable for me.

    I also got a shipping scale from the same place (same brand) which has been equally reliable and extremely useful.
