First, I hope everything had a great Christmas and is looking forward to 
the new year.  You know your a gear head when your ONLY gifts are gift 
cards to NAPA.  8>0

On to my shop content question....

I need a pallet jack with a built in scale.  The problem is that it seems 
every single one with a non-electric dial indicator has been removed from 
the earth.
I don't want another battery to have to make sure is charged the few times 
a year I need it.  I'm also willing to pay real money (if needed).

Anyone have a source for such a beast?

And yes, I do feel 'old' when I'm searching for a NON-electric gadget. 8>) 
 As for accuracy, I don't need +/_ 1/4" over 4000 LBS.  Just close enough 
to get shipping quotes.

I also thought to maybe retrofit one of my existing jacks with a hydro 
pressure gauge (and I like the idea of making it myself) but I can't find 
a place to tap into the jacks without interfering with the clearances and 
mechanics of them (they are very small, self contained pumps.) 

If you have a source for this conversion, I'll love that also!

Thanks again!
