disposable scales

i was going to spain the week before last ,i decidet to weigh the cases on my
SALTER ELECTRO SAMSON and to my surprise it wouldent turn on so i put in new battery still no power.
when i came back.
i gave salter uk a ring to arrange a service or whatever they suggested,not in any way helpfull they didnt want to know point blank.
they actually said the salter brecknell electro samson was a disposable scales with no serviceable parts nothing they could do . 130 euro disposable scales why dont they put that on the package.

so with nothing to lose i opend it up and found the problem a ribbon going from the touch buttons 2 circut board had a dry joint problem sorted.

just in case any of you experiance same problems might save you a phone call.

how long did you have it john? i was thinking of getting one



after you opening it and tampering i wont be believing your reports

they are a great scales denis i would still reccomend them.

i have it around 5 years this was the first problem i ever had but i have it sorted

go for one there very accurate too.

i brought a berkley set in today to get certified and asked the guy what they were like in gereral. he said they hadnt done a whole lot of ones like mine so couldnt say but if he was to recomend a set, it would be a salter electro samson. he reckoned every time a set came back for a new yearly cert they were mostly still bang on and rarely failed any.

The touch pad is the weak link....They go eventually. Have had a couple go this way, even after repair they eventually gave up completely. Shame as they are otherwise a cracker. But after five years I suppose it owes you little!

your dead right jim it owes me little.
its very little used aswell

after my service its working great touch pad seems to work even better now much more responsive .

god i feel a trip to cork coming on now, just to try out the revived scales

weighing fish is much more appealing than suitcases
