I actually got new numbers by using a friends set of longacre scales. The previous numbers were using bathroom scales, the weight has not changed 20lbs, just the scales haha.
I use Walmart cheapie scales and they're within 1 pound of longacres....but they have to be calibrated with a known weight first (I use a 5# dumbbell weight) and if you look at the no-load weight after calibration, it's off quite a bit. YMMV. The hardest part is seeing the readouts without moving around and disturbing the numbers... a Friend helps, or intelligent counterbalancing with a cellphone camera.
