I can't weight

Jewelry Discussion

meaning I can’t find replacement weights for my small, folding, old,
mechanical, German(?)diamond balance. Everything is digital and I
don’t want to pop the few hundred…I can be cheap sometimes.

Leads, anyone???

I know yer gonna hate this…E-BAY. I bought a phenomenal set of old
gravers on there for $30. probably 30 gravers in it, plus other
tools, plus two huge sterling disc blanks, all in a case with notes
and diagrams from the 1940’s. Seller didn’t know what they
had…sigh…I can usually find obscure stuff there.

I have managed to lose most of the weights to my balance scales thru
the years also. I blame it on cats but thats probablly a form of self
denial. Anyway, just use a thin sheet of fine silver and trim it to
the correct weight by balancing it against weights you still have.
Before the cat gets them. Have fun.

Neil,

I think what you are looking for can be found at
http://www.sciencekit.com/category.asp_Q_c_E_427520

Or try a Google search under Ohaus Weights For other suppliers. Ohaus
make precision balance beam scales for laboratories amongst other
weighing instruments.

Hi Neil;

I think Rio Grande sells a set of the weights alone. Pretty
inexpensive too.

Hello Neil,

Fischer has the weights. 3.60 each or 29.90 for a set of 10. Plus
shipping of course. Gesswein has a pocket balance for 29.95. Plus
shipping. Weigh your options. Call me old fashioned but I prefere a
balance over digital anyday. It even works when the power goes out.

Have a great day,
Hans

Lisa, I agree: Ebay!

I have gotten most all of my supplies and tools from Ebay, including
a VERY gently used Kerr Injectomatic II for $180. I doesn’t even look
used except for some residue wax in the bottom. Of course, it’s a
continuous hunt and gather spectre. Took a few months to find some of
the things I was after. But Ebay is well worth the effort.
