Answer
Hi Dionne,

Sorry but I don't know anything about regular scales, just some of the coin operated ones. But, there is another expert here, Bill and Jan Berning and thy know scales like no one in the world! They have even wrote a book on just scales, called "Scales" A collectors guide,ISBN Number 0-7643-1905-1. Look them up here on the allexperts site or order there book now that you have the ISBN Number.

Thank You

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!
