Interesting post, Bud.
Like you, I have the original PT-50, as well ss the KN100. I must confess that I have become lazy in my old age and have not used the KN100 since I purchased the PT-50. However..........
I believe the KN100 may be more accurate, or at least easier to read. With the newer models, unless I am doing something wrong, I have to read the results quickly on the scale. With the KN100, when the BB is added which causes the test filament to be severed, the BB weight remains constant. Also, with the KN100, the knife is held in the jig instead of having to rely on Mister Fumblefingers.
Mike, please let me know if I am not reading my PT-50 properly.
I concede that the newer PT-50 is faster. The older KN100 suits my temperment: simple and dependable.
