Folks, perhaps many of you have already stumbled upon this, but if not I thought I'd share with you something that has recently helped me read my Ohaus 10/10 scale. My 50+ year old eyes need all the help they can get, and I had been using a magnifying glass to help me ensure my loads were precisely accurate.
That got old, so I took a flourescent light magnifying lamp (you know the kind with the circular flourescent lamp underneath a magnifying glass which extends on an arm),turned the magnifying glass so that instead of the normal horizontal position, the glass was turned side ways, so that I could position it in front of my scale. I have my scale on top of a Craftsman tool box, so that I don't have to lean down to read it, and it sits at my eye level, to reduce parallax issues.
I hope this helps you, thanks!
