Let's do something about this tank scale: Genesis 1000-5000

Thanks Jon, part of the problem is I can never remember what those things are called!

“Pointer condoms”

Any place sell the scale for the frame?

I make decals for the frame in several versions including the one you need. You can Private Message me for details.

Good morning! I'm wondering if you can help me with rebuilding this. I took mine apart and luke a dummy didn't really look how the spring attached internally. I assume one hook goes on the threaded rod at the top and the other goes around the internal bar? I can almost make it out in your first pics up top but just want to be sure, thanks!

Attach one end of the spring to the threaded bar first, then attach it to the correct one inside the scale. The problem is that I remember there are two bars inside the tank scale, only one is the right one. I also remember needing a pair of needle nose pliers to pull the spring over the bar. Edit: I went back and looked at my picture and you can tell how it should go if you hold your tank scale in the same orientation.

Great job and detailing Steve. I'm sure the scale reflects better accurately too.

It couldn't hurt since you have to recalibrate it for accuracy once it's put back together.
