    Brought at auction in Virginia and restored it to its original sparkle. This I believe is considered a “personal scale” and I was able to recalibrate it so it gives accurate weight of individual. Top brass was covered in zinc and I removed the zinc.

      I have a Fairbanks and am curious about you comment about re-calibrating. How did you do that?
