This was a message a received from an eBayer and my answer, whether it helps with any knowledge about this item I don't know. From: wolfb To: dad3640 Subject: Other: wolfb sent a message about VINTAGE OHAUS SCALE DOUBLE BEAM 200 GRAM CAST IRON #121444141934 Sent Date: Sep-23-14 11:22:58 PDT Dear dad3640, To know if it balances, move the sliding weights all the way the left (looking from the front) and see if the pans/porcelain plates rock between the stops on the cast iron base. The needle should be in the middle of the indicator. If the plates set on/to one side or another, the counter weights are missing. These are added or removed by screwing off the one of the plates and taking away or adding weight. Usually small lead shot will do. If the pans/plates do not freely rock back and forth, it is a problem with the articulation points on the beam. If this is the case, the balance is worthless and good for parts only, although it may have some value in parts. Alternatively you may just add some weight to the pan/plate that is up (the other one being down) and see if it (the pans) rocks freely. Are you willing to do this and tell me what you find? This detail will help you sell the balance. Thanks? Wolf-==- Dear wolfb, All right I now have a headache trying to figuring this out. When I moved the sliding weight to the left the left went down, the needle also went all the way to the left, not in the middle. I unscrewed the plates and there was some lead weights under them. I moved the weights all to the right and it didn't help, I also added some different things and it would either not move or move all the way down on the right. The plates move up and down but I'm guessing I don't have the right kind of weights for it. I figured I had it priced low enough to be bought for parts because I didn't have enough knowledge about it. I saw the same ones going for $100.00+. Anyway thank you for trying to help me out with this, - dad3640
