Hello On the topic of digital scales, I have had great success with the Ultrascle MBSC-55 Digital Scale for a reserach study I am doing. They run on batteries and are quite light in weight. To simplify, the scales were wrapped in a clear bag (after considering hockey bags, etc). I had a stone weighed at the post office, and it became my double check for the scales. Recalibrating is complex, and I only did it when my stone was not getting a clear, accurate reading. In the US, I purchased some from Sandie D. Lamb All Around Stock 439 Conquest Road Murfreesboro, Tennessee 37128 Office: 615-890-1921 Cell: 615-268-7317 www.allaroundstock.com In Canada from http://www.canadianweigh.com/scales/my-weigh-mbsc-ultrababy-scale I have no connection with either distributor.
