Guys, I thought I'd scored big time. A Starbucks near my old home was discarding a digital scale, and I managed to get it.
This thing had a huge platform - maybe 10 by 12 inches, and was accurate to 0.005 pound. I thought it would be perfect for rocket building and especially motor selection.
I got it home, and discovered why it was being tossed - it was completely fried.
So now I'm looking for a digital scale. I have a small metric one which is good for small components, but I'm looking for something larger, with a heavier capacity. Problem is, the kind of scale I had scored, had it worked, would cost probably close to $1000 or more.
You guys always surprise me with new vendors I'd never heard of. I've been looking on Amazon, but I'm wondering if anybody out there knows of a better source for digital scales.
