Beam scales these days

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.

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