Title: OT help needed toledo scale
Post by: skipskip on February 28, 2015, 11:02:59 PM

I have a pretty neat big old toledo scale.

I need to zero adjust it, but it's outwitting me.

i cant find a manual on the net, nor a scale collectors forum.

any one here familiar with these or can send me in the right direction?

Thanks

Oh that brings back bad memories. Long story short I once had a Toledo scale loaded halfway in my truck before it came crashing down. In honor of my almost crushed feet I will never move a big heavy thing without help of smart able bodied people. Oh an there doesn't look like a lot of parts but when there scattered on the ground, there sure is.

now to go back on topic....I have no idea how to adjust it but good luck. I am sure someone here will know or have a source that does.

Nola that's funny

that's why I need to re zero it, it got away from us when we loaded it

they are way more top heavy than you think

thanks for the encouragement

What does the needle do when you put about 20# on the platform?
