[meteorite-list] Milligram Scale

[Adam Hupe]

Yes, I have poor luck with almost everything made in China these days but you 
have to look carefully for the made in China stickers in order to avoid being 
taken.  I just had an Igloo bar refrigerator fail in less than 8 months.  After 
reading the warranty carefully, I found out that only the power cord and door 
handle was warrantied for life and not the rest of the refrigerator so I was out 
of luck. I thought Igloos were American made but I was wrong and will never 
purchase one of their products again. Almost anything I have ever purchased that 
was made in China has turned out to be garbage, failing within a year or two if 
you are lucky.  I know somebody who almost died because the generic made in 
China medications they were taking were not up to par or counterfeited.

I only purchase German, Japanese or U.S. made electronics these days if I can 
find them which brings me to a good scale.  It is a Japanese made Tanita. The 
Tanita scale that I use is so accurate, it must be recalibrated every time you 
go through an altitude change.  It is so sensitive that a 50 milligram specimen 
will register less weight at 500 feet than it will at sea level.

Be careful, even the Scales USA brand is made in China.
