Hi, I just won the bid on a set of Ohaus scales, model 1650SD new. The
person selling them doesn't know about them, I don't think, says they are
double beam, but they have the tare beam in the back. I paid $50 for them.
I've never used them before, so don't laugh.
My question: It has two trays, does that mean I need weights with it? I
thought the beams carried the weights, just like a doctors scale. I emailed
the seller and asked, but got no answer on it. thanks, sherry morrow PS,
with this, now, I should have all I need for making my own glazes.but then
again.......... ;>)

My Ohas is a double beam ballance scale. The front slider is grams in
1/10 g incriments, the rear is up to 200g in 10g incriments. It will
measure 210g without weights. It has two plates, the left is for the
material to be measured, the right is for adding more weights to take it
up to three or four kilos. Weight sets can be found at a number of the
"scientific" sites listed in the archives. If you can't find weights right
away, you can measure something like coins up to the amount of your
sliders (200g) multiply by five and that will give you a kilo of weight to
add on to the right side.
Mine is at least 50 years old and still very accurate. Not really much
harder to use than a triple beam.
