Default Electronic Scales -- SF Bay

Does anyone have a line on some electronic scales I could rent in the San Francisco area?

I've tried the scale rental places in the phone book, quite a few FBOs, and even some auto racing shops.

The few places that have appropriate scales don't want to rent them out.

I could always go with bathroom scales, but I'd prefer to do it "right" the first time.

Gotta believe the EAA chapter @ Hayward has got em. Sorry, don't have a phone # or link.

Alternatively, Checkoway is running an aircraft weighting business. Don't know his rates but I'm sure he'll be happy to fly up to SF for a fee.
