Free Oertling R20 Balance (200g x 0.1mg) Aylesbury UK

Sulaiman - 25-7-2019 at 17:01

I won and have paid for an eBay auction for an Oertling mechanical balance, model R20,
it has a capacity of 200g and resolution of 0.1mg.
It was owned by the sellers father who was an industrial chemist, and the lamp is still working.

I am unable to collect the item so -

I am offering the balance free to any member who is able to personally collect it from the Aylesbury area.

P.S. it looks like this;

Even if you do not need a precision mechanical balance (!?),
there is a useful set of precision weights inside
and
it could form the basis of a cute fume cupboard,
or just an enclosure for your digital scales.

Tell me why you want it so that if there is more than one member interested I will choose on Sunday morning.
(my Sunday morning is probably midnight Sat/Sun in UK)

I'd be interested but unfortunately Aylesbury is just too far. Could you try and ensure that in future if you are going to win auctions that you won't be able to pick up, that they are in the north west of the UK? :)
