[Electronics-talk] Talking scale recommendations

Sun Aug 29 03:54:26 UTC 2010

Hi, John,

I use a talking scale made by My Weigh called the Ultra Weight 
talking scale. It comes in a 550 pound max weight limit and another 
with a 440 pound weight limnit. It is very simple to use and seems to 
have consistent weight readouts. I don't recall where I purchased 
mine but I see Blind Mice Mart has the 550 pound model along with a 
few others at
http://www.blindmicemart.com/default.asp?dept_id=20603&nopopup=1

You can probably search the internet for other vendors.
HTH,
Jeff
