[QUOTE="ejedi, post: 606725, member: 17273"]I struggled with the 82s alot when I started (not too long ago). I still struggle a bit reading the 2. I love the balance scale though, I built one similar - but also picked-up a trick online that makes it a tiny bit easier for me. Instead of making it "Balance" with a Zinc, I made mine "Not Tip" with a zinc by moving the fixed zinc cent out from center a tiny bit. I actually built mine with a business card instead of the stick (hey use what is at hand). With a slightly off-center set-up, zincs should not move the scale at all and coppers will tip it. Once it is dialed-in, it is quick, easy, and free.[/QUOTE]
