I'm curious about your load cell, what capacity? What price at 5% of
list. I've saw new 20,000lb load cells on eBay for the $150 range IIRC.
Is yours mechanical or does it have strain gauges for electronic scale
readers?


5000 Lbs, $50, long out of calibration.
You can see the construction:

It's a lab instrument, OK on a crane, not happy at all bouncing around on a
chain in the woods.
