Just bought this set in Debenhams sale for the kids but also to have a mechanical scale to hand when the batteries die on my electronic one.
First of all, cannot set the scale to zero as instructed using the black dial at the back. The hand just does not move from its current position.
Second, the wind up timer has been set to go off after 5 mins for the past half an hour!
The only thing that seems to work (how could it not?) is the measuring spoon man!
Does anyone have one that works?
