Recently, my beam scale started sticking, just needing a nudge from my finger to free it. I cleaned the bearings with anhydrous Alcohol. Still stuck.
It zeroes fine, and is exactly with my check weights.
I called, and asked a tech where I bought it, and he suggested that static electricity may be causing the problem, and suggested rubbing each part with a dryer sheet. I got some cheap, store brand sheets, and used it new. it had some fine granular material on it, probably the softener. It left dust all over the scale, which I cleaned off. It works fine now.
My question is should I use the dryer sheets after they have been used,or get a better-quality sheet, which won't leave the dust, or both?
Thanx
