Many, many years ago, I replaced my old Herters, oil dampened scale with an Ohaus 10-10 and have been using it all those years with zero problems.
Somewhere during during that time, I lost the brass counter weight used when weighing items over 500 gr.
I would like to find a replacement or, failing that, have one made from brass stock.
Does anyone know of a source for the weights or could someone, who has access to one of the counter weights, post the actual weight in grains?
Thanks.
P.S. I did some rough measuring and basic calculations that indicated the counter weight should weigh 250 grains as the counter weight is hung at just about twice the distance from the pivot as compared to the distance from the pivot to where the pan is hung. However, I've been playing with math long enough to know that my math predictions are usually speculation untill verified by real world experience.
