I have only just picked up this thread as I have been searching for information on the type of damper oil I should use in my Avery Scales and can find nothing else on the web.
I have an old Avery scale that reads up to 3 lb and was probably used in a grocer's shop. I use these all the time for cooking and have had them for about 10 years. Every now and then the damper oil needs replacing and I have just used ordinary vegetable oil, but it seems to need replacing quite often.
Does anyone know what sort of oil I should use?
Any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Mr Paul
