I purchased a Redding Model #1 scale on Ebay for a friend. The scale is ok. Looks new. It came in the original box but no manual. This is a very simple beam scale. I put it together and the scale zeros ok. Hanging below the pivot points is a paddle shaped device that hangs down into a small reservoir. I assume one fills the resevoir with either water or light oil and this is how the beam is dampened. I tried it with water and oil. The light oil works best. Anyone have any experience with this scale? I called Redding for information and they are shut down for two weeks. Redding's online catalog does not show a Model #1 in their product line. They show a Model #2, but it looks like it is magnetic dampened.
