Beam scales these days

Some of the old 505's were two poise, they looked like the M5. Mine is red and creme colored.

That's a different scale altogether Justin. You are correct, the old Ohaus 505 was a two poised scale, almost exactly like the M5 except that it had the big aluminum pan and wire pan support and didn't have the auxiliary weight . An excellent scale and can be updated with a later style pan and pan support to make it more convenient to use.

The later, new style, 505 was a three poise and the 502, using the same body, was a two poise.

I like my 10/10 and with boyd Allens help it's way accurate but a few years ago I went digital and haven't looked back...both are accurate to a tenth and that's plenty accurate to me... Keeping a close eye on any scale is key... I recently went to the charge master and love it....

Yes, I have both the two poise and three poise 505's
