Question
Hello, I am looking for parts for my penny scale and was wondering if there is a dealer or catalog that might be of help?

Answer
Hi Janet,

Thanks for writing but there is an expert in this same category as me, Bill and Jan Baring, who have done scales forever! They have been in the business of scales for a very long time. As I say in my information, I am no expert in scales but I bet they can give you everything you need and my even have the parts that your looking for.
So Janet, please drop them a line, it will most likely be a one stop shop for you, these are really good people and they know there scales better then anyone.
I hope this get you everything you need.
Thank You
Rodger

Expertise

I am an expert on old coin operated machines, slot machines, trade stimulator's, jukeboxes, old arcade machines, etc. I have been identifying these for people who respond to my web site listed below, for a few years now. In almost all cases I am able to tell them about their old coin operated machines, the year, the value, and other general information about their machines. I do not know much about soda vending machines, coin banks, or scales, but I will try to help you with these if I can.

Experience

I bought my first slot machine, a .50 Cent Mills Black Cherry in 1969 and have been hooked from that time, I still have that Slot machine! Before that I found a open barrel full of old scraped jukebox wall boxes behind a restaurant, I wanted them all but never took a one of them. Anything that took a coin drove me nuts!
