Broken Scales!
Hi, One of the feet on my scales has come off and I cannot find it. Is this fixable? I've tried sitting something of a similar size underneath, but the readings are not consistent, fluctuating quite a bit when I lean certain ways. I don't really want to buy new scales! Any Ideas, or has anyone else had this problem?
