This is the one I got for my scale.

 

[kneedtospeed]

So a ton of money is worth $906,118. I always wondered about that. Good to know.

$896,000 in Ones.

Well dollar bills anyways..

He did say "One dollar bill = 1 gram."

I inadvertently entered a 0 after the decimal before "59237" and rounded to the nearest dollar. In fact the proper value is $907,184.74. I have no clue how you got $896,000 since there are about 454 grams in a pound, or 453.59237 to be more exact.

Hey, we're talking about an FX-120 here, not a beam scale; let's be precise.

True, if I could ever have some reading comprehension... Or maybe it's still too early here on the left coast and the caffeine hasn't kicked in, lol. Just for fun I'll weigh some other bills out of curiosity.

Don't be too hard on yourself; he could have meant "a one dollar bill," or "a single (any denomination) dollar bill." He was ambiguous and difficult to read, just like the FX-120 instructions.

You're absolutely right. I totally overlooked the stripper and junkie slime.

The 20, and 30 combined will work, however, wipe them off with alcohol, and dry them, then use tweezers or gloves to handle the weights. The natural oil in your finger prints could change your check weights!

I weighed a small piece of paper, then wrote the actual weight on it, and the scale weighed the difference of the INK that I wrote the weight with!

Next if you say the scale read what you wrote on the paper, I'm gonna be suspicious. LDS

Ok, I just got my new FX-120i scale delivered. I got it put together, and I can turn it on by pressing the on button...

I tried reading instructions, but all that jibberish has left me clueless.

So I can turn it on...

How do you set grains as standard weight instead of grams? Or do yall click mode to change to grains every use?

How do you calibrate this SOB? Lol it said something about an auto calibration, then another part said it was FZ series only that does it... I need to figure out the calibration!

Once calibrated can I just trickle out charge after charge again? Because I trickled one charge but when I set my pan on it it didnt return to zero...

Im lost...

I click mine to grains every time and literally have never calibrated it, excellent scale.

I thought I wanted one of these things til I tried to read this

 

[kneedtospeed]

I'd like to find Another one or two, for a few hundred Over Retail, if someone could help me out??

ACCESSORY ???????
I have found a 4 outlet Tripp-Lite LC 1200 for 74.95 on Ebay

Also this/Fair-Rite RCT-2 Ferrite Beads 10 OHM/100 MHZ
Is this the correct part or parts, and how many of the beads do I need.
If this equipment is good for a high end scale, would it work the same for a lesser $$ scale?? LDS

Should help on any that is having electrical power problems in your home or garage wiring. If you have a different scale that can run off battery power, try that first. I put 2 on mine both near the scale end of the power cord. Double wrap them like in the instructions I posted earlier. I ordered these which should be the same thing. http://www.oldwillknottscales.com/fair-rite-rct-2-ferrite-bead.html

UPDATE****

I figures it out late last night after the house got quiet and I could sit and push buttons and learn. Its alittle more complicated than a RCBS scale, but its way nicer. I ordered a calibration weight too. Called the company and talked to the tech guys, take a 100g class 2 weight. Couldnt find that info anywhere else.. hopefully it gets here soon so I can get up and loading asap!

Good deal...

I finally figured out how to re-arrange the units/modes so I don't have to cycle through everything to go from grams to grains. I set it up to cycle from g > pcs > GN > %...the rest are turned off.
