I just dusted off two different digital scales that I gave up on earlier.

The Jennings JS-50XV (about a $40.00 scale) still sucks. Took about 3 minutes to "warm up" or "Stabilize" before it finally settles down and provides repeatable readings. I put this one away and hope I forget where I put it.

The other is a Jennings JS-VG (about a $80.00 scale). Worked great right away. I am pretty sure my previous problems with using this scale was due to air currents from a ceiling fan. Last nights test restored my lost confidence in digital scales. I just wish it had a 110 Vac power supply so I didn't have to rely on battery power.
