Last post on the subject. I have the scale back together and working. Better still, I weighed myself and then went to an electronic scale, that is known to be accurate and guess what! Even the .7kg that showed on the electronic could be seen on the 3809CFY. 53 years old and spot on.

I hope somebody who knows something about the Avery 3809CFY scale is following my floundering on the subject. I have th eback and base open. The vertical post section of the scale appears to be complete and functional. But on the base, there is a spring about 5" long that has detached from somehwere. Can anyone tell me where it goes please?

It is always a great pity when a wealth of knowledge is lost. If your Uncle Keith left any manuals somwhere and these are potentially scanable, I would put my hand up to ask for the info on the 3809CFY. Thanks for responding. Regards.

Gents, I have just joined your ranks having collected an Avery 3809CFY scale with serial number S-681057. The weight of the unit was unbelievable and two of had to get this in and out of a Toyota Prado, without damaging any of the vehicle, the scale or ourselves. It was laid over and I have therefore lost the damping oil in transport. The search now begins for a manual, drawing or whatever is available. Kind regards, Moses ( my Hash House Harriers name and I am assured that I am a prickly individual)
