May also be of interest to you, you don´t need a scale to compare
lines. Just get a foot rule or similar. Hang the lines to be compared
on each end, at the same points, and place the rule on a fulcrum. If
the lines are the same weight, they should roughly balance. If they
aren´t, they wont!

You can also use weights of a known value ( Cent coins or similar.
New American cents minted after 1996 weigh 38.61 grains ) to gauge the
actual weight more or less exactly.

Mike,

Good suggestions to remember for the future but in this case - the problem
turned out to be all me. I just made a post that explains that.

Thanks for taking the time - I really do appreciate that.
