    Description

    I AM ADDING INFORMATION ABOUT THE THREE ADDITION WEIGHTS THAT HANG ON THE BAR ATTACHED TO FRAME OF SCALE. (1) ADDS 100 LBS. (2) ADD 50 LBS. EACH TO WEIGHT ON SLIDE BEAM OF SCALE. FIR A TOTAL CAPACITY OF (300) LBS. THIS SCALE IS VERY OLD, OLDEST FAIR BANKS I'VE EVER SEEN. I WILL CONTINUE TO DO RESEARCH AND ADD TO DESCRIPTION IF AVAILABLE. THE BASE PLATFORM IS SLAB OF WHAT APPEARS TO BE SLATE, IT IS BROKEN ON 2 CORNERS,I WILL NOT TRY TO REPLACE DUE TO CHANGING THE ACCURACY OF THE SCALE. THE BRASS BALANCE BEAM IS IN NEED OF CLEANING, BUT NOT BAD. THERE ARE THREE ADD ON WEIGHTS THAT TOTAL TWO (2) HUNDRED POUNDS, LARGE ONE IS A 100 LB. THE (2) SMALL WEIGHTS ARE (50) LBS. EACH, FOR A TOTAL OF 300 LB. CAPACITY. (100) USING ONLY BRASS SLIDE BAR. I HAD THE SCALE CHECKED FOR ACCURACY BY PROFESSIONAL SCALES, AND HE SAID IT IS ACCURATE AND IN FULL WORKING ORDER, NO BROKEN PARTS OR CRACKS. I WILL ADD MEASUREMENTS AND TRY TO GET AN ACCURATE WEIGHT OF SCALE FOR SHIPPING PURPOSES, BUT UNTIL I GET THIS DONE IT WILL BE FOR AUCTION WITH LOCAL PICK UP ONLY. THE APPROXIMATE WEIGHT IS 70-80 LBS. PACKAGED FOR SHIPPING. I WILL ADD MEASUREMENTS THIS WEEK. THANKS FOR LOOKING. PLEASE Check out my other items! Be sure to add me to your favorites list!
