Does it have to do with accuracy?

Balances are simple, durable and easy to fix. I’ve got an Ohaus balance from the late 1920s that I picked up on eBay for next to nothing because it wasn’t working.
It was dirty and rusty, but otherwise fine–was able to get it working perfectly with some cleaning, oiling, and gentle sanding.
Out of curiosity, I did a comparison with a calibrated digital lab scale at my school. Using a balance takes a *little* bit of skill and it’s slower, but until you get down to very small weights, it is every bit as accurate.
