Title: penny scale question Post by: jbrooks on October 28, 2012, 07:38:38 am I just won a penny scale on ebay and need togo pick it up. Is it ok to lay these down or will it mess up all the insides?
Title: Re: penny scale question Post by: Jim on October 28, 2012, 07:52:04 am I have laid down both Peerless Ticket Scales and my Lollypop scales without incident.
Actually, I take that back, be careful as your scale may utilize oil and some may leak out if laid on its back... Title: Re: penny scale question Post by: davethebirdman on October 28, 2012, 09:51:17 am My scales leaked when I liad mine down so be careful.
