As long as we're talking about scales...
I have a Denver Instrument 3-beam scale,
and would like to find a counterweight
set. The company no longer makes them,
and other scale supply/repair outfits
have been unable to locate such, either.
Any ideas/help?
(I may just cast a set in bronze, and
grind or weld until balance is reached.)

They don't have to be pretty , they just have to work.

Well, that's one way. I made up a set for an Ohaus triple-beam out of
some fishing weights. They are pretty easy to work with. A an electric
drill serves to trim them.

I am not trying to trump Mr Brunner; but I found in a hardware store here
CONCRETE fishing weights. NEAT IDEA They obvioulsly had been molded in an
empty brown pill bottle. Little screw eye embedded in top. Improvise a
small balance scale (pans on both sides of a fulcrum ; like a teeter
totter, seesaw...and work from that. Don't bother mixing concrete. Go to
a building site they'll let you ahve a cupful.
