    Default digital scale

    after having problems with my shaky arthritic hands it's time to replace my trusty old ohaus with a digital scale, anyone have any recommendations that I will not have to take a mortgage out on?

    My old paws seem to get along with a Lyman 1200 dps.

    A digital scale is just easier to read. Still needs trickler. However, like S.A. Boggs says, just pick one. And dispense your money. snicker.
    Spelling and grammar count!

    thanks guys for the responses. I know how to use them and I know where to find them, I was looking for recommendations of the ones that people are using.

    I have a Salter-Brecknell that I paid $35 for at Cabelas about 7 years ago. I check every tenth or so against a beam scale... and it's always been right on the money. No need to go out and buy the most expensive fancy equipment when simple reliable stuff can be found for much less!

    A word of advice: Keep your cell phone at least ten feet away from digital scales. It DOES affect the scales operation and accuracy!!!

    It's a Salter Brecknell Model CB-50. I'm not sure if they still offer this model, but I'm pretty sure Cabelas offers something similar for a similar price.

    Just checked the sight, and there are low priced models from Hornady, Lyman, and Frankford Arsenal... all priced below $30.
