Coming in at about 11.4 grams.my caliper is missing and just using a tape measure it appears at best guess a fraction smaller in diameter . Report this Post to the Staff

Dearborn Moderator United States 94765 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 7:44 pm thanks for the extra image. the 'small half' has full reeds so it was in a collar properly. - did you wash it and dry it incorrectly causing some shrinkage? [jk] Actually I'm not too sure why is is a tiny bit smaller, so, I guess it's time to hit the books and hope to find something.... Collecting since 1972. Learning from then on "Tell me and I forget.

3388bknb Valued Member United States 116 Posts	Posted 06/13/2023 7:55 pm I am receiving a new scale via Amazon In the morning. This one is just not giving the sensitivity I need. I'll keep updating on this. Please check back. I'm going to need more accuracy! Report this Post to the Staff
