Dear Marcus and All,
Our kitchen scale is a Salter Model-323. It can operate from a battery or
from a transformer. This model has a flat top (150�mm wide by 170�mm long)
that sits on a machine that is 230�mm by 170�mm; the extra length is to
provide space for the screen and the control buttons.
Here is the blurb from the site of one of the local suppliers.
***
'The model 323 features a large LCD display for easy reading of weight. A
tare function allows empty container weight to be subtracted from displayed
weight. An overload indicator warns when weight exceeds capacity. Powered by
a 9V battery with auto-off to save battery power or optional mains adaptor.
'Stainless Steel Top Plate Size: 170mm x 150mm.
'Capacity
'5000g x 1g'
***
As I said it will determine masses up to 5000GM (sic � this is written on
the front of my machine) and it does this in increments of 1�g with the
exception that it refuses to weigh anything at 1 gram at all, but its fine
for 2�g, 3�g, and for all the others to 5000�g.
We have had this machine for some years so I called the local agent, here in
Geelong, for Salter and he said that this model is still available at a cost
of $297.00 (AUD). As this price includes the price of a transformer (built
for Australian conditions) and the Goods and Services Tax (GST) of 10�%, I
expect the price in the USA to be about $130.00 (USD).
