You just go to the police department and ask if they might have any scales
that were taken in busts (drug dealers use them to weigh stuff). Let them
know your purpose and you may offer to make a cup or something in
appreciation although that isn't necessary. There are also sales of things
collected over the year and you may ask when those are scheduled. I was
given this suggestion by another potter in another town. The department is
happy to provide a tool for good purpose--good for public relations. Good
luck. By the way--the first Ohaus I was given didn't function properly and
I actually went back and asked to choose another and the officer in charge
of properties let me have my pick--an Ohaus in perfect condition. Nice.
