Although, I just recently found a great deal at the store called Harbor Freight. Electronic scales can be purchased through any science supply company.

It seems like scales should have a warning label to not exceed a certain weight that is put right on the scale. Thank you Tom.

While it is true that most balances of this type rely on a rather weak component to actually accomplish the weighing that component is usually protected pretty well. Usually, especially with Ohaus balances, the load cell is protected to at least 150% of rated load. This will not of course help if the balances are abused and heavy loads are continually dropped on the weighing platform.
