Salter weighing machine

Post by arrgee »

Rather good looking 'heavy weight' machine on eBay with a rather heavy weight price tag of £11,499 plus £200 postage. :shock:

Looks lovely. But can think of some more entertaining games for my 11k. Spend an evening with friends weighing yourselves....

Yes, it's a classic design but where do you put a thing like that :o . You MIGHT get it shipped for £200 but they would leave it on the doorstep and run away. No way 2 men in a van are going to carry that up three flights of stairs for £200 !OMFG! and it's not going to work very well anyway. These were spring-driven and were unreliable from day one. 100 years on you would be lucky to get it to read the same weight twice in a row if you stepped off then back on again (note that it currently reads 5 stone with nothing on the plate) dirtdog . On the plus side, it does have side rails so you can kid yourself you weigh less than you do by leaning on the rails. !!YIPPEE!!
