My Lee Hardness Tester was binding so I lubed lightly with gun oil. It became so smooth I thought the calibration was off. I slid a short piece of PVC pipe over a large washer onto the tester and pushed down on a bath scale. It took exactly 60 pounds so it is working fine. Thought I'd pass this on in case someone else wants to test theirs. It was a little hard pushing down 60 pounds but it worked. Ed.

Good idea, Ed, but my wife woud accuse me of recalibrating the bathroom scales if she caught me doing it!

Tell her you were just checking the scale because you can't believe she actually weighed that much. Uh... I mean that little. Uh... I mean... Oh, forget it.
