First, the balance:

Next, the dial:

Finally, the talking scale:

But the problem with the talking scale is that it is not as private as one might want.

Is your talking scale too loud? Are you embarrassed to have your weight announced?

Worry no longer – there is a solution!

Talking Scale with Adjustable Offset

Make a talking scale with a selectable offset. Have the scale silently subtract 5, 10, 20, or more pounds off your weight before it makes the announcement.

Only you know the correct weight, and eavesdroppers will be impressed.

But wait, there’s more!

Call now and get two Adjustable Talking Scales for the price of one!

That’s right. Two scales for the price of one! Call now! Don’t delay!

Alas, I do not have any scales to sell. Any entrepreneurs out there are free to profit off this idea if they want.

Differing weights are an abomination to the Lord, And a false scale is not good.
