some times the pointer will stop a bit off, just touch the beam and start it swinging again, most of the time it will go to center.

Better yet, just continuously tap your finger on the table next to the scale as it's settling to zero. Along w/ a good cleaning, I (mostly) promise it will never hang up offset from the true balance point if you make that part of your technique.
I've been using that "finger-drumming" method on this old Texan balance since 1969, and still use it occasionally to check the Green Monster (lower right) to see if Isaac Newton & James Clerk Maxwell are still shaking hands in the physics afterlife. :
(Yeah, and I dust it off before I use it.)
