since @sparker has been viewing this thread without comment, I find those is support of his work and this thread suspect. Mr Parker has been irrelevant for several years, Why the sudden support in absence of his comments. Is he in need of more money and asking his past customers for support? I have no answer, but given that Mr Parker is is full view of this and previous posts and has yet to comment, I let you make your own judgement.

Given the fact that I am just now viewing this, please allow me to respond in kind.
Many people have waited an egregious amount of time for me to deliver. This is absolutely true. My heartfelt apologies to all affected.
I am always happy to receive calls from my customers and those who are curious or those simply doing research. I am one man, I do all the work, I will not ship anything I’m not happy with. The business side of it has been a shortcoming of mine and I am always learning more about it. Part of the issue is that I work full time. The scales are a hobby of mine. I am passionate about measurement and precision. I know what it is like to wait for all of it: actions, barrels, stocks, etc.
I have been turning down work that either I don’t feel right about or that I can’t deliver in a timely manner. In many cases, supplying a tuned scale is both easier and faster than tuning a scale for someone. Also, such scales that I supply come with a transferable warranty. The value of which has been demonstrated time and again in the classified listings.
In short, I am always wanting to provide the best possible scales. I do not settle for less. I am getting better with the customer service part. Please feel free to contact me:

Wel,l address the part in the past about never returning communications for all those scales you had been paid for and held for many months or more than 'many months' and you might make us all feel better...might but doubtful.

Perhaps, a bit of patience is warranted for those who do not live in the threads…

One can only imagine that there is no response that would bring you satisfaction, even though you are not a customer of mine.
Given that, perhaps one might simply allow the forward motion of betterment and reconciliation to occur without the persistent pursuits of destruction. Many thanks for your consideration.

I got a Chinese 5°0°5 by mistake once. It is one of the best scales (mechanically) that I have. I can't take that away from it just because the label "Chinese" can be put on it. While it is mechanically one of my best scales, I do not like the 5°0°5 scales as much as my others. For one thing, they are too light compared to the others.

I have an oil dampened Redding I got from Scott a year or so ago . It is delightful. I mostly use it to check other scales. I also use it to show off it registering a tiny grain of powder.
My transaction with Scott was easy, smooth, and timely.
He has a real job. Scales don't pay his rent.
I wholeheartedly recommend just buying a scale from him. They are cool. Gravity Rules!

One might infer from the lack of first names and proper introductions, that the signatory simply didn’t want to assume a level of familiarity that wasn’t established. Some people upon finding a $100 bill in the street will complain that Benjamin Franklin was not smiling at them…
If I found a $100 bill on the street I would give it back to the owner, and not hold onto it.

Assuming you knew whom to return it, of course. But I think the illustration/metaphor holds its own. If somehow, I have left the casual reader believing otherwise, it was certainly not my intent. Fault is like fools gold, always to be found by those desperately seeking it.

I haven’t been a forum member very long I guess but when I joined I thought you had to agree not to Badger, bully, threaten or belittle other members?…

There’s about four threads going on right now that have gotten rotten. Come on guys, let’s keep this place enjoyable.
My message for Scott Parker is from now on only sell tuned classic beam scales you have in stock ready to ship. And accept payment via a conventional way like PayPal, which offers buyer protection. If someone requests a tune up on their scale, then only offer to take it in as a core credit for a like one you already have sitting on the shelf. End of problems!!
