Home Hardware in Elmira has (had?) a big scale with a suspended pan. You could scoop a bunch of bolts, nuts, washers and other assorted hardware bric-a-brac into the pan, then pay by weight. Alas, the store has "modernized" and I haven't seen that scale in years. - --Bob. On 2016-06-19 06:53 PM, D.
