    Source for inexpensive scales (for DRO use)

    Where can I find a scale and DRO that is at least 8' in length? I need to stay relatively inexpensive, what are the options?

    EBay, ~30.00 for a scale and small DRO.

    $30 for a 96" scale? please show me, it is hard to sort through all of the scales, as they are not categorized by length.

    Try Chengdu Ditron Opto-Electronic Equipment Ltd. - Linear Scale,Digital Readout
    Scales through 3000mm (118")
    Reasonable pricing, but the shipping is expensive. Cheaper if you get together with some friends and order several scales.
    My $0.02 (US)
